1. 09 Series System Configuration(s)
The 09 Series Stabilized Antenna system is to be used for Transmit/Receive (TX/RX) satellite communications, it is comprised of
two major groups of equipment. These are the Above Decks Equipment (ADE) and the Below Decks Equipment (BDE). There
will also be interconnecting cables between the ADE & BDE and cables to provide other inputs to the system.
1.1. Series 09 Basic System Information
This group is comprised of the Radome & Base Frame, Stabilized Pedestal with Equipment Frame & Antenna sections
and a GPS engine. Each of these sections will be discussed in the next lesson.
Series 09 Antennas will be available in 3 dish sizes (Diameter – active area):
• 1.0 M (40 inch)
• 1.2 M (50.0 inch)
• 1.5 M (60 inch)
Each dish size will be available in 4 basic configurations (other configurations may also be added):
• xx09-11 - 8W NJRC BUC, Cross-Pol Only, Quad Band LNB
• xx09-17 - 8W NJRC BUC, Cross-Pol and Co-Pol, Quad Band LNBs
• xx09-23 - 8W Codan BUC, Cross-Pol Only, Quad Band LNB
• xx09-33 - 8W Codan BUC, Cross-Pol and Co-Pol, Quad Band LNBs
1.2. System Cables
AC Power & Coaxial cables will be discussed in a separate lesson.
1.3. Other Inputs to the System
Multi-conductor cables from Ships Gyro Compass, GPS, phone, fax and Computer equipment may also be connected
in the system.
1.4. Simplified block diagram of a Series 09 system
Your Series 09 TXRX system consists of two major groups of equipment; an above-decks group and a below-decks
group. Each group is comprised of, but is not limited to, the items listed below. All equipment comprising the Above
Decks is incorporated inside the radome assembly and is integrated into a single operational entity. For inputs, this
system requires only an unobstructed line-of-sight view to the satellite, Gyro Compass input and AC electrical power.
A. Above-Decks Equipment (all shown as the ADE) Group
• Stabilized antenna pedestal
• Antenna Reflector
• Feed Assembly with Cross-Pol LNB
• Co-Pol LNB (xx09-17 & 33 Only
• 8W Ku-Band Solid State Block Up-Converter (BUC)
• Radome Assembly
B. Below-Decks Equipment Group
• Antenna Control Unit
• Terminal Mounting Strip Assembly.
• Base Modem Panel
• Customer Furnished Equipment - Satellite Modem and other below decks equipment required for the
desired communications purposes (including LAN and VOIP equipment).
• Appropriate Coax, Ethernet, and telephone cables
