Technical Specification for WorldSpace Receiver

The overall block diagram of the receiver from the space interface of the antenna to the mixer interface to the IF is shown in Figure 1. In the figure are shown the cascade of LNAs and filters that comprise the antenna section and also those that comprise the RF tuner up to the IF mixer. Along the chain will be seen the gains of the amplifiers, the expected insertion losses of the filters and the loss of the cable that connects the antenna unit to the tuner unit input. Also shown are the IP3 levels expected of each LNA.

Figure 1 shows the antenna unit configuration for a dual polarized antenna. It has two arms, one for Left Hand and the other for Right Hand Polarization. A receiver activated signal quality switch selects that arm that yields the best-received quality. If a horizontal linear polarized antenna is used, only one arm is needed. It will have the components of one of the arms as shown in Figure 2.

Notes:

This method compares the noise output of the active antenna system oriented towards the surface of the earth, which is assumed to have a temperature of about 300 K, with the noise output resulting when the antenna is oriented perpendicular to the sky with an assumed temperature of 20 K. Alternatively, an anechoic chamber can be used applying the minimum PFD to the antenna. Due to the 300 K of the chamber, the transmitted minimal PFD has to be increased accordingly (see antenna test procedure).

C/N = 4.5 dB at QPSK demodulator input for a real satellite signal with deterioration due to TWT non linearity effects source or a TDM test generator with appropriate added noise.

A1 Explanation of modifications in the Technical Specifications

General remark: This document contains modifications intended to improve the performance of the WorldSpace Receivers in the presence of high-level in-band and out-of-band interferers. Technical parameters were changed to accomplish this.

All IP3 levels indicated in this document are Input IP3 levels!

Overview of the Receiver Antenna and Tuner Sections

A block diagram for the implementation of the RF sections of the receiver, from the dual polar antenna outputs to the Tuner section preceding the IF mixer, is shown in Figure 1. Low loss filters (pass-band loss of nominally 0.5 dB) having the characteristic given in Figure 3, first separately filter the left hand and right hand outputs of the dual polar Antenna Unit. Each is fed to an LNA having –20 dBm IP3 with 15 dB gain. A switch next selects that polarization yielding the best receiver performance quality as determined by receiver signal processing logic. This switch has an insertion loss of 1 dB. The selected antenna output is fed to a 2^nd filter having the characteristic shown in Figure 4. This filter shall have an in-band insertion loss of nominally 3 dB. Because of the gain of the preceding LNA stage, this arrangement does not significantly deteriorate the receiver’s NF performance. The 2^nd filter output feeds the last LNA stage of the Antenna Unit. It has a gain of 15 dB and an IP3 of –10 dBm. A cable having a loss of up to 5 dB connects the Antenna Unit to the Tuner input. This supplies input to a 3^rd filter having the characteristic shown in Figure 4 and thence to the Tuner LNA stage. The output of the latter stage feeds to the IF mixer.

Figure 1 also shows the gains and losses and the expected signal levels at various points along the chain of components. The overall filter action of the cascade of the three filters as seen at the output of the Tuner LNA is shown in Figure 5. The 0 dB level on this graph corresponds to a level of –71.8 dBm.

Figure 2 revises the Antenna Unit to operate with a linear antenna rather than the dual polarized patch antenna.

Ancillary Information

The satellite’s radiated EIRP and the distance to the earth determine the range of the electromagnetic wave flux density falling on the earth. The radiated beam center EIRP of the satellite is 52.5 dBW. The shortest distance to the earth from geostationary orbit is 36,000 km and the longest is 41600 km. Assuming square law spreading, the resulting beam center flux density values are -109.6 and - 110.9 respectively. The latter value equates to at a PFD of –137 dBW/m²/4 kHz assuming TDM signal is contained in a bandwidth of 2 MHz, then the PFD from the satellite corresponds –109.6 dBW/m²/4kHz.

With reference to the – 3 dB beam contour relative to beam center, a link margin of 6 dB for a 6dBi gain antenna is achieved. Correspondingly, the margin will be zero at a contour with 3 + 6 = 9 dB attenuation relative to the beam center, resulting in PFD of -120 dBW / m². With this minimum usable PFD, a minimum specified receiver level of -88 dBm has to be delivered to the receiver’s antenna socket input.

To compensate for a maximum cumulated antenna-to-receiver cable loss of 10 dB (5 dB cable fixed to antenna plus 5 dB cable inserted between antenna plug and tuner input socket) in case of detached antenna use, and the worst case tolerance of the antenna output signal of -3 dB, the minimum output level at the end of the inserted cable observed at the receiver socket is –96 dBm. This assumes an antenna gain of 6 dBi.

To 12) Signal behavior at receiver antenna input. The maximum level of the used signal (defining the required AGC range) is –30 dBm. An in-band CW interferer up to a level of –30 dBm has to be tolerated before it is reduced by the SAW filter.

The receiver’s noise figure limitation is changed to 10 dB, as the influence of this parameter after a previous LNA gain of 15 dB can be easily tolerated.

To 19) Demodulation performance: The carrier-to-noise value deserves additional clarification and reference to a test procedure. This parameter is primarily determined by the StarMan chipset. To avoid the requirement in the test equipment of including a TWT-simulator for the non linearity-effects, 2 limits are mentioned here. The value of 4.0 dB ignores the influence of satellite transponder non-linearity (intermodulation noise) and applies when a test signal is derived from a linear signal source. The value of 4.5 dB includes satellite non-linearity effects and applies for tests using the real satellite signals.
