Small Cell Timing and Sync Presentation SCA 2013David Chambers
Presentation given at Small Cells Americas December 2013 explaining and positioning timing and sychronisation requirements and solutions for small cells. This highlights the need for Phase sychronisation for more advanced LTE features, which is technically demanding. The alternative synchronisation schemes are discussed, concluding in a range of recommended solutions.
This article introduces the design of the antenna and recommends two tested low-cost PCB antennas. These PCB antennas can be used with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) solutions. For the best performance, BLE and BLE 2.4GHz radio frequencies must be correctly matched to their antennas.
5G NR is a contradictory complex, and it is difficult to have both capacity and coverage. 5G expands the system capacity by expanding the bandwidth of the spectrum. The frequency range extends from below 3GHz in the 4G era to the millimeter wave band, and the single carrier bandwidth is increased from 20MHz to more than 100MHz. But the higher the frequency band, the smaller the coverage of the base station, and the operator has to build more base stations.

As the data capacity demand on mobile phone and other wireless operator networks booms, their telecom backbones, or backhaul infrastructures, have struggled to keep pace. To get high volumes of data from coast to coast, operators have in more recent times relied on fiber optic technology for their voice and data traffic. However, for these long-haul operations, fiber lacks practicality, flexibility, cost effectiveness, security and quick time-to-market. Increasingly, operators are turning to the original long-haul telco solution to meet all these needs: microwave radio.

What are the Benefits of LoRaWAN Technology?
Today, we talk about the seven benefits of LoRaWAN technology application.
In December 2021, LoRaWAN officially became the ITU International Standard for Low Power Wide Area Networks and has been endorsed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
LoRaWAN is developed as an open standard and has been widely recognized by the low power wide area network community. The rapid adoption of this standard for global IoT low-power wide-area networks is a testament to its universality.
LoRaWAN is now a very popular LPWA communication standard that uses unlicensed radio spectrum in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band at frequencies ranging from approximately 433 MHz to 868 MHz, 915 MHz (standards vary around the world).
In the IoT connectivity environment, in addition to smart home networking and office space scenarios, many IoT devices will be connected and communicated in remote environments where the new environment will be inaccessible and require power connections due to M2M transmission coverage limitations.

Design and Implementation of RSLA Antenna for Mobile DBS Application in Ku-...Dr.Joko Suryana
In this research, a satellite on the move DBS receiver has been designed and implemented based on Radial Line Slot Array (RLSA) antenna which operates at Ku band. This antenna is implemented with brass as conductor and air (er ≈ 1) as dielectric material and has eight concentric array slot pairs to achieve conical beam, better gain and wider frequency bandwith compared to Makoto Ando model. From the simulation and measurement results we can see that our RLSA prototype has passed the technical specifications . This antenna has conical beam, with 14.22 dBi at 12.0 GHz, operational frequency bandwidth about 1.7 GHz and axial ratio about 3.79 dB. For enhancing the RLSA prototype, we also have developed the 2 x 2 planar RLSA antena which has about 6 dB additional gain. Moreover, this low cost implementation of RLSA antenna will decrese the CAPEX of DBS deployment at public trains, ships and buses in Indonesia

Military forces require situational awareness no matter
where they are located. From warfighters in the field,
sailors on Navy ships, troops in flight and decision
makers at central command, everyone must share a
common operating picture to accomplish the mission.
Yet, that can be significantly challenging when troops
are constantly in motion, traveling across land,
sea and air.
Identify and explain key technologies for evolutionary change in spa.pdfamitkhanna2070
Identify and explain key technologies for evolutionary change in spaceborne communications.
Solution
The Air Force should invest in those satellite communications technologies unavailable in the
commercial sector that are critical for military-specific, core communications services; other
technologies and services can be adapted from commercial practice. From the foregoing
discussion these critical technologies are:
• Antenna systems that efficiently direct downlink power to users (even at unplanned locations)
and reject jamming on the uplinks by use of multi-beam, real-time adaptive antenna patterns
• Very high-rate (many gigabits per second) communications for sensor data relay and
dissemination among spacecraft, airplanes, and ground sites; optical communications is the
method of choice
• Onboard processing for jamming protection that despreads and demodulates uplink signals and
routes them to appropriate downlinks, providing interconnection of disparate users (including
packet communications)
The present state of practice for advanced antenna arrays is to use global spot multibeam routing
and switching. However, recent advances on antenna arrays have provided limited adaptive beam
forming. Based on the present development, a 3 Gbps data throughput rate should be achievable
on satellites before the end of the century. It will be necessary to continue shifting the RF
communication band to a higher frequency with wider bandwidth to obtain increased data rates.
Therefore, it is essential to continue to develop the electronics required to send telemetry at a
higher operating frequency.
The use of real-time adaptive beam patterns on up-link and down-link on communications
satellites has been very limited. Today, commercial satellites have multiple beams, but they are
usually fixed in anticipation of a particular orbital location and an intended customer base. For
military communications, neither of these is likely since the theater of operations is
scenariodependent. The ability to create multiple narrow-beam downlinks allows the satellite
transmitter power to be directed only to the intended users, as well as permitting frequency re-
use (important in the crowded spectrum allocations). Both factors result in increased capacity
through the satellite. The ability to create multiple narrow-beam uplinks provides high receiving
gain that in turn allows either smaller earth terminals to close the link or higher data rates to be
transmitted. Substantial reductions in ground terminal costs will result. More importantly,
narrow-beam uplinks can be used to reject interfering sources (jammers) out-of-beam, and,
through combining of multiple beams, to reject jamming sources within a beamwidth. The ability
to do such realtime adaptive antenna beam formation to create very deep, narrow nulls anywhere
within the field of view of the satellite over the very wide bandwidths necessary for AJ
modulation is not something that the commercial sector will develop (c.
A very small aperture terminal (VSAT) is a small telecommunication earth station that receives and transmits real-time data via satellite.
A VSAT transmits narrow and broadband signals to orbital satellites. The data from the satellites is then transmitted to different hubs in other locations around the globeT.
The innovative and effective use of information and communication technologies (ICT) is becoming increasingly important to improve the economy of the world [1]. Wireless communication networks are perhaps the most critical element in the global ICT strategy, underpinning many other industries. It is one of the fastest growing and most dynamic sectors in the world.
The European Mobile Observatory (EMO) reported that the mobile communication sector had total revenue of €174 billion in 2010, there- by bypassing the aerospace and pharmaceutical sectors [2]. The development of wireless technologies has greatly improved people’s ability to communicate and live in both business operations and social functions.
The phenomenal success of wireless mobile communications is mirrored by a rapid pace of technology innovation. From the second generation (2G) mobile communication system debuted in 1991 to the 3G system first launched in 2001, the wireless mobile network has transformed from a pure telephony system to a network that can transport rich multimedia contents. The 4G wireless systems were designed to fulfill the requirements of International Mobile Telecommunications-Advanced (IMT-A) using IP for all services [3]. In 4G systems, an advanced radio interface is used with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), and link adaptation technologies. 4G wireless networks can support data rates of up to 1 Gb/s for low mobility, such as nomadic/local wireless access, and up to 100 Mb/s for high mobility, such as mobile access. Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and its extension, LTE-Advanced systems, as practical 4G systems, have recently been deployed or soon will be deployed around the globe.
However, there is still a dramatic increase in the number of users who subscribe to mobile broadband systems every year. More and more people crave faster Internet access on the move, trendier mobiles, and, in general, instant com- munication with others or access to information. More powerful smart phones and laptops are becoming more popular nowadays, demanding advanced multimedia capabilities. This has resulted in an explosion of wireless mobile devices and services. The EMO pointed out that there has been a 92 percent growth in mobile broadband per year since 2006 [2]. It has been predicted by the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) that 7 trillion wireless devices will serve 7 billion people by 2017; that is, the number of network-connected wireless devices will reach 1000 times the world’s population [4]. As more and more devices go wireless, many research challenges need to be addressed.
A Novel Method for Prevention of Bandwidth Distributed Denial of Service AttacksIJERD Editor
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks became a massive threat to the Internet. Traditional
Architecture of internet is vulnerable to the attacks like DDoS. Attacker primarily acquire his army of Zombies,
then that army will be instructed by the Attacker that when to start an attack and on whom the attack should be
done. In this paper, different techniques which are used to perform DDoS Attacks, Tools that were used to
perform Attacks and Countermeasures in order to detect the attackers and eliminate the Bandwidth Distributed
Denial of Service attacks (B-DDoS) are reviewed. DDoS Attacks were done by using various Flooding
techniques which are used in DDoS attack.
The main purpose of this paper is to design an architecture which can reduce the Bandwidth
Distributed Denial of service Attack and make the victim site or server available for the normal users by
eliminating the zombie machines. Our Primary focus of this paper is to dispute how normal machines are
turning into zombies (Bots), how attack is been initiated, DDoS attack procedure and how an organization can
save their server from being a DDoS victim. In order to present this we implemented a simulated environment
with Cisco switches, Routers, Firewall, some virtual machines and some Attack tools to display a real DDoS
attack. By using Time scheduling, Resource Limiting, System log, Access Control List and some Modular
policy Framework we stopped the attack and identified the Attacker (Bot) machines
Hearing loss is one of the most common human impairments. It is estimated that by year 2015 more
than 700 million people will suffer mild deafness. Most can be helped by hearing aid devices depending on the
severity of their hearing loss. This paper describes the implementation and characterization details of a dual
channel transmitter front end (TFE) for digital hearing aid (DHA) applications that use novel micro
electromechanical- systems (MEMS) audio transducers and ultra-low power-scalable analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), which enable a very-low form factor, energy-efficient implementation for next-generation
DHA. The contribution of the design is the implementation of the dual channel MEMS microphones and powerscalable
ADC system.
Influence of tensile behaviour of slab on the structural Behaviour of shear c...IJERD Editor
-A composite beam is composed of a steel beam and a slab connected by means of shear connectors
like studs installed on the top flange of the steel beam to form a structure behaving monolithically. This study
analyzes the effects of the tensile behavior of the slab on the structural behavior of the shear connection like slip
stiffness and maximum shear force in composite beams subjected to hogging moment. The results show that the
shear studs located in the crack-concentration zones due to large hogging moments sustain significantly smaller
shear force and slip stiffness than the other zones. Moreover, the reduction of the slip stiffness in the shear
connection appears also to be closely related to the change in the tensile strain of rebar according to the increase
of the load. Further experimental and analytical studies shall be conducted considering variables such as the
reinforcement ratio and the arrangement of shear connectors to achieve efficient design of the shear connection
in composite beams subjected to hogging moment.
Gold prospecting using Remote Sensing ‘A case study of Sudan’IJERD Editor
Gold has been extracted from northeast Africa for more than 5000 years, and this may be the first
place where the metal was extracted. The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) is an exposure of Precambrian
crystalline rocks on the flanks of the Red Sea. The crystalline rocks are mostly Neoproterozoic in age. ANS
includes the nations of Israel, Jordan. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Yemen, and Somalia.
Arabian Nubian Shield Consists of juvenile continental crest that formed between 900 550 Ma, when intra
oceanic arc welded together along ophiolite decorated arc. Primary Au mineralization probably developed in
association with the growth of intra oceanic arc and evolution of back arc. Multiple episodes of deformation
have obscured the primary metallogenic setting, but at least some of the deposits preserve evidence that they
originate as sea floor massive sulphide deposits.
The Red Sea Hills Region is a vast span of rugged, harsh and inhospitable sector of the Earth with
inimical moon-like terrain, nevertheless since ancient times it is famed to be an abode of gold and was a major
source of wealth for the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The Pharaohs old workings have been periodically
rediscovered through time. Recent endeavours by the Geological Research Authority of Sudan led to the
discovery of a score of occurrences with gold and massive sulphide mineralizations. In the nineties of the
previous century the Geological Research Authority of Sudan (GRAS) in cooperation with BRGM utilized
satellite data of Landsat TM using spectral ratio technique to map possible mineralized zones in the Red Sea
Hills of Sudan. The outcome of the study mapped a gossan type gold mineralization. Band ratio technique was
applied to Arbaat area and a signature of alteration zone was detected. The alteration zones are commonly
associated with mineralization. The alteration zones are commonly associated with mineralization. A filed check
confirmed the existence of stock work of gold bearing quartz in the alteration zone. Another type of gold
mineralization that was discovered using remote sensing is the gold associated with metachert in the Atmur
Desert.
Reducing Corrosion Rate by Welding DesignIJERD Editor
The paper addresses the importance of welding design to prevent corrosion at steel. Welding is
used to join pipe, profiles at bridges, spindle, and a lot more part of engineering construction. The
problems happened associated with welding are common issues in these fields, especially corrosion.
Corrosion can be reduced with many methods, they are painting, controlling humidity, and also good
welding design. In the research, it can be found that reducing residual stress on the welding can be
solved in corrosion rate reduction problem.
Preheating on 500oC and 600oC give better condition to reduce corosion rate than condition after
preheating 400oC. For all welding groove type, material with 500oC and 600oC preheating after 14 days
corrosion test is 0,5%-0,69% lost. Material with 400oC preheating after 14 days corrosion test is 0,57%-0,76%
lost.
Welding groove also influence corrosion rate. X and V type welding groove give better condition to reduce
corrosion rate than use 1/2V and 1/2 X welding groove. After 14 days corrosion test, the samples with
X welding groove type is 0,5%-0,57% lost. The samples with V welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is
0,51%-0,59% lost. The samples with 1/2V and 1/2X welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is 0,58%-
0,71% lost.
Router 1X3 – RTL Design and VerificationIJERD Editor
Routing is the process of moving a packet of data from source to destination and enables messages
to pass from one computer to another and eventually reach the target machine. A router is a networking device
that forwards data packets between computer networks. It is connected to two or more data lines from different
networks (as opposed to a network switch, which connects data lines from one single network). This paper,
mainly emphasizes upon the study of router device, it‟s top level architecture, and how various sub-modules of
router i.e. Register, FIFO, FSM and Synchronizer are synthesized, and simulated and finally connected to its top
module.
Active Power Exchange in Distributed Power-Flow Controller (DPFC) At Third Ha...IJERD Editor
This paper presents a component within the flexible ac-transmission system (FACTS) family, called
distributed power-flow controller (DPFC). The DPFC is derived from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC)
with an eliminated common dc link. The DPFC has the same control capabilities as the UPFC, which comprise
the adjustment of the line impedance, the transmission angle, and the bus voltage. The active power exchange
between the shunt and series converters, which is through the common dc link in the UPFC, is now through the
transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency. DPFC multiple small-size single-phase converters which
reduces the cost of equipment, no voltage isolation between phases, increases redundancy and there by
reliability increases. The principle and analysis of the DPFC are presented in this paper and the corresponding
simulation results that are carried out on a scaled prototype are also shown.
Mitigation of Voltage Sag/Swell with Fuzzy Control Reduced Rating DVRIJERD Editor
Power quality has been an issue that is becoming increasingly pivotal in industrial electricity
consumers point of view in recent times. Modern industries employ Sensitive power electronic equipments,
control devices and non-linear loads as part of automated processes to increase energy efficiency and
productivity. Voltage disturbances are the most common power quality problem due to this the use of a large
numbers of sophisticated and sensitive electronic equipment in industrial systems is increased. This paper
discusses the design and simulation of dynamic voltage restorer for improvement of power quality and
reduce the harmonics distortion of sensitive loads. Power quality problem is occurring at non-standard
voltage, current and frequency. Electronic devices are very sensitive loads. In power system voltage sag,
swell, flicker and harmonics are some of the problem to the sensitive load. The compensation capability
of a DVR depends primarily on the maximum voltage injection ability and the amount of stored
energy available within the restorer. This device is connected in series with the distribution feeder at
medium voltage. A fuzzy logic control is used to produce the gate pulses for control circuit of DVR and the
circuit is simulated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
Study on the Fused Deposition Modelling In Additive ManufacturingIJERD Editor
Additive manufacturing process, also popularly known as 3-D printing, is a process where a product
is created in a succession of layers. It is based on a novel materials incremental manufacturing philosophy.
Unlike conventional manufacturing processes where material is removed from a given work price to derive the
final shape of a product, 3-D printing develops the product from scratch thus obviating the necessity to cut away
materials. This prevents wastage of raw materials. Commonly used raw materials for the process are ABS
plastic, PLA and nylon. Recently the use of gold, bronze and wood has also been implemented. The complexity
factor of this process is 0% as in any object of any shape and size can be manufactured.

This paper presents a blind steganalysis technique to effectively attack the JPEG steganographic
schemes i.e. Jsteg, F5, Outguess and DWT Based. The proposed method exploits the correlations between
block-DCTcoefficients from intra-block and inter-block relation and the statistical moments of characteristic
functions of the test image is selected as features. The features are extracted from the BDCT JPEG 2-array.
Support Vector Machine with cross-validation is implemented for the classification.The proposed scheme gives
improved outcome in attacking.
Secure Image Transmission for Cloud Storage System Using Hybrid SchemeIJERD Editor
- Data over the cloud is transferred or transmitted between servers and users. Privacy of that
data is very important as it belongs to personal information. If data get hacked by the hacker, can be
used to defame a person’s social data. Sometimes delay are held during data transmission. i.e. Mobile
communication, bandwidth is low. Hence compression algorithms are proposed for fast and efficient
transmission, encryption is used for security purposes and blurring is used by providing additional
layers of security. These algorithms are hybridized for having a robust and efficient security and
transmission over cloud storage system.
Application of Buckley-Leverett Equation in Modeling the Radius of Invasion i...IJERD Editor
A thorough review of existing literature indicates that the Buckley-Leverett equation only analyzes
waterflood practices directly without any adjustments on real reservoir scenarios. By doing so, quite a number
of errors are introduced into these analyses. Also, for most waterflood scenarios, a radial investigation is more
appropriate than a simplified linear system. This study investigates the adoption of the Buckley-Leverett
equation to estimate the radius invasion of the displacing fluid during waterflooding. The model is also adopted
for a Microbial flood and a comparative analysis is conducted for both waterflooding and microbial flooding.
Results shown from the analysis doesn’t only records a success in determining the radial distance of the leading
edge of water during the flooding process, but also gives a clearer understanding of the applicability of
microbes to enhance oil production through in-situ production of bio-products like bio surfactans, biogenic
gases, bio acids etc.
Gesture Gaming on the World Wide Web Using an Ordinary Web CameraIJERD Editor
- Gesture gaming is a method by which users having a laptop/pc/x-box play games using natural or
bodily gestures. This paper presents a way of playing free flash games on the internet using an ordinary webcam
with the help of open source technologies. Emphasis in human activity recognition is given on the pose
estimation and the consistency in the pose of the player. These are estimated with the help of an ordinary web
camera having different resolutions from VGA to 20mps. Our work involved giving a 10 second documentary to
the user on how to play a particular game using gestures and what are the various kinds of gestures that can be
performed in front of the system. The initial inputs of the RGB values for the gesture component is obtained by
instructing the user to place his component in a red box in about 10 seconds after the short documentary before
the game is finished. Later the system opens the concerned game on the internet on popular flash game sites like
miniclip, games arcade, GameStop etc and loads the game clicking at various places and brings the state to a
place where the user is to perform only gestures to start playing the game. At any point of time the user can call
off the game by hitting the esc key and the program will release all of the controls and return to the desktop. It
was noted that the results obtained using an ordinary webcam matched that of the Kinect and the users could
relive the gaming experience of the free flash games on the net. Therefore effective in game advertising could
also be achieved thus resulting in a disruptive growth to the advertising firms.

“MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to Extract Microsatellites on „Y‟ Chrom...IJERD Editor
Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR), also known as Microsatellites, have been extensively used as
molecular markers due to their abundance and high degree of polymorphism. The nucleotide sequences of
polymorphic forms of the same gene should be 99.9% identical. So, Microsatellites extraction from the Gene is
crucial. However, Microsatellites repeat count is compared, if they differ largely, he has some disorder. The Y
chromosome likely contains 50 to 60 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. Because only males
have the Y chromosome, the genes on this chromosome tend to be involved in male sex determination and
development. Several Microsatellite Extractors exist and they fail to extract microsatellites on large data sets of
giga bytes and tera bytes in size. The proposed tool “MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to extract
Microsatellites on „Y‟ Chromosome” can extract both Perfect as well as Imperfect Microsatellites from large
data sets of human genome „Y‟. The proposed system uses string matching with sliding window approach to
locate Microsatellites and extracts them.
Importance of Measurements in Smart GridIJERD Editor
- The need to get reliable supply, independence from fossil fuels, and capability to provide clean
energy at a fixed and lower cost, the existing power grid structure is transforming into Smart Grid. The
development of a smart energy distribution grid is a current goal of many nations. A Smart Grid should have
new capabilities such as self-healing, high reliability, energy management, and real-time pricing. This new era
of smart future grid will lead to major changes in existing technologies at generation, transmission and
distribution levels. The incorporation of renewable energy resources and distribution generators in the existing
grid will increase the complexity, optimization problems and instability of the system. This will lead to a
paradigm shift in the instrumentation and control requirements for Smart Grids for high quality, stable and
reliable electricity supply of power. The monitoring of the grid system state and stability relies on the
availability of reliable measurement of data. In this paper the measurement areas that highlight new
measurement challenges, development of the Smart Meters and the critical parameters of electric energy to be
monitored for improving the reliability of power systems has been discussed.
Study of Macro level Properties of SCC using GGBS and Lime stone powderIJERD Editor
One of the major environmental concerns is the disposal of the waste materials and utilization of
industrial by products. Lime stone quarries will produce millions of tons waste dust powder every year. Having
considerable high degree of fineness in comparision to cement this material may be utilized as a partial
replacement to cement. For this purpose an experiment is conducted to investigate the possibility of using lime
stone powder in the production of SCC with combined use GGBS and how it affects the fresh and mechanical
properties of SCC. First SCC is made by replacing cement with GGBS in percentages like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and
by taking the optimum mix with GGBS lime stone powder is blended to mix in percentages like 5, 10, 15, 20 as
a partial replacement to cement. Test results shows that the SCC mix with combination of 30% GGBS and 15%
limestone powder gives maximum compressive strength and fresh properties are also in the limits prescribed by
the EFNARC.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Abstract:- Satellites for communication services have evolved quite significantly in size and power since the
launch of the first commercial satellites in 1965. This has permitted a consequent reduction in the size of earth
stations, and hence their cost, with a consequent increase in number. Small stations, with antennas in the order
of 1.2–1.8 m, have become very popular under the acronym VSAT, which stands for ’Very Small Aperture
Terminals’. Such stations can easily be installed at the customer’s premises and, considering the inherent
capability of a satellite to collect and broadcast signals over large areas, are being widely used to support a large
range of services. Examples are broadcast and distribution services for data, image, audio and video, collection
and monitoring for data, image and video, two-way interactive services for computer transactions, data base
inquiry, internet access and voice communications. This work will give brief summary of the installation
process of VSAT.
Keywords:- VSAT, Networks, Computers, Antenna, Modem, Receiver, Transmitter, etc.
I.
INTRODUCTION
VSAT, now a well established acronym for Very Small Aperture Terminal, was initially a trademark
for a small earth station marketed in the 1980s by Telcom General in the USA. Its success as a generic name
probably comes from the appealing association of its first letter V, which establishes a ‘victorious’ context, or
may be perceived as a friendly sign of participation, and SAT which definitely establishes some reference to
satellite communications.
The use of the word ‘terminal’ which appears in the clarification of the acronym will be replaced by
‘earth station’, or station for short, which is the more common designation in the field of satellite
communications for the equipment assembly allowing reception from or transmission to a satellite. The word
terminal will be used to designate the end user equipment (telephone set, facsimile machine, television set,
computer, etc.) which generates or accepts the traffic that is conveyed within VSAT networks.
This complies with regulatory texts, such as those of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), where
for instance equipment generating data traffic, such as computers, are named ‘Data Terminal Equipment’
(DTE).
VSATs are one of the intermediary steps of the general trend in earth station size reduction that has
been observed in satellite communications since the launch of the first communication satellites in the mid
1960s. Indeed, earth stations have evolved from the large INTELSAT Standard A earth stations equipped with
antennas 30 m wide, to today’s receive-only stations with antennas as small as 60 cm for direct reception of
television transmitted by broadcasting satellites, or hand held terminals for radiolocation such as the Global
Positioning System (GPS) receivers. Present day hand held satellite phones (IRIDIUM, GLOBALSTAR) are
pocket size. Therefore, VSATs are at the lower end of a product line which offers a large variety of
communication services.
VSAT Equipment Components
The three major components are the antenna, the transceiver and the modem.
The VSAT Antenna
Prodelin 2.4 transmit/receive
34
2. Fundamentals of Vsat Installation
The antenna choice depends upon the type of service that the client will provide to his clients. A cyber
café with 15 to 30computers in a location with good satellite signal will be content with a Prodelin 2.4m
antenna. We choose Prodelin or Andrews because of construction strength and accuracy of manufacturer.
Incidentally,
they
are
also
approved
by
all
of
the
satellite
operators.
Installations that require high volume connections of 1MB or greater will find savings by installing the larger
3.8m or 4.5m antennas. Although these antennas cost more to purchase and more to ship, there will be savings
on the re-occurring monthly bandwidth cost. Users of the smaller antenna can be penalized when they try to
push larger data volumes through their link.
The VSAT Transceiver
Anacom’s C-Band Transceiver
Anacom has the entire transreceiver mounted in a single unit, making it simpler to install on the antenna.
Transceivers are the radios that transmit the signal from the earth station up to the satellite. Small
antennas transmitting high bandwidth require powerful transceivers; larger antennas with smaller bandwidth
require
less
power.
Transceivers are sold by their power rating; our existing clients use transceivers in the range from 5
watts to 60 watts. The choice is also influenced by the strength of the satellite signal at the client’s location in
addition to the bandwidth and antenna size.
The VSAT Modem
Paradise P300 Shown -cover removed
The modem at one teleport communicates directly with the modem at our client’s location. Although
most modems are compatible with each other, we try to make it a rule that the modem type at our client’s
teleport is of the same type that we use. Often we have to instruct technicians , who are not familiar with the
modem, how to set it up. It is easier to accomplish this if both sets of technicians are using identical equipment.
We work with a wide range of modem types; Paradise, Datum, EF Data and Comstream are the most common.
The client who has already purchased modems before coming to us often determines the choice of modem.
Modems have a host of features that can cause their price to jump by a factor of three if the more exotic choices
are made. It is important that the modem features are matched to the needs of the satellite; incorrect modem
settings can lead to the client paying a premium for the monthly cost of space segment.
VoIP Equipment
Cisco AS5300 VoIP Router
35
3. Fundamentals of Vsat Installation
The largest family of VoIP routers is the Cisco 5300 series. The5300 can be configured for 4 T1 or 4
E1 digital lines and are perfect for high volume digital environments, such as telephone companies. The5350
has
a
maximum
capacity
of
8
E1
or
8
T1
connections.
The majority of our clients operate Cyber Café’s with 8 to 16 analog telephone lines. In this case the Cisco
product is unsuitable, instead we recommend the Quintum Tenor A800 VoIP Gateway. Quintum will connect
directly to analog lines. These units are reliable and relatively easy to configure.
Determining dish size
The antenna size limits the amount of data that you can carry over a circuit. It is a complicated
calculation based upon a client’s location relative to the satellite power footprint. When we know your
requirements
we
can
guide
you
to
your
decision.
Satellite bandwidth is not cheap and some companies have designed a product that seems to offer cheap
bandwidth. Their solution is to sell shared bandwidth. In other words they will buy 1 Meg from the satellite
owner and resell this same bandwidth ten times – they gamble that not all of their clients will need bandwidth at
the same time. This gamble often fails at peak times and the clients are left competing for the same space. If the
client is running voice, the conversation is broken up and choppy, if they are running data the download speed
becomes
very
slow.
Each satellite beam coverage pattern has power and sensitivity contours which are fundamental to the
dish size required so your location is important. At the outer, lower level contours larger dish sizes are required.
In order to transmit a sufficiently powerful signal to the satellite you need a combination of transmitter power
(from the Block Up Converter or BUC) measured in watts, plus a dish size with enough gain. There may be a
trade off to be done, if there is the possibility of a smaller dish and high power amplifier or larger dish and low
power amplifier.
Optimising costs
Paradise P300 - cover removed
To minimise long term monthly costs it is critical to make efficient use of the satellite capacity and
power
available.
If you have a very small dish you will need more power from the satellite to carry the same required bit rate.
Dish is the key factor. Doubling the dish area (approx 1.4 times larger diameter) will reduce your satellite
power
required
by
half
!
The way your digital signals are transmitted and received is also critical. Choice of the right VSAT modem is
important. A wide variety of old and new modulation methods are possible. Modern modulation schemes and
forward error correction ( FEC ) techniques allow more bits/s to be squeezed out of the available satellite
capacity.

VSAT Installation
Installation of a VSAT system can be a challenge unless the installer has considerable experience in
performing the task. An experienced installer will be able to unpack the equipment, assemble the antenna,
modem and transceiver, line up the satellite and get a signal lock in 5 to 7 working days.
There are several stages involved in building a VSAT facility:
1. Inspection of the VSAT equipments
2. Preparation of the site for VSAT installation
3. VSAT equipment installation
4. VSAT antenna alignment
5. Commissioning and start of VSAT service
Step 1. Inspect the VSAT equipment
If the equipment has been purchased from several different vendors, small items like cables may not
have been provided.
The installer must perform a full inspection of the equipment immediately upon its arrival; any missing
items can be identified and ordered while the initial work of installation is proceeding.
1-) Site preparation
Professional installer begins assembly of an Andrew 4.5m
Step 2. Preparation of the antenna site
The installer will contact the EX4U teleport & satellite operator inorder to get the settings for the
azimuth, which is the compass bearing from the client’s location to the satellite, and the elevation, which is the
angle in an upward direction that is necessary for the antenna to hit the satellite.
This information will confirm that there are no trees, buildings or other obstructions that prevent the antenna
from having a clear view of the satellite.
The antenna site must be positioned conveniently close to the main building that will house the electronics and
provide the electrical power to the antenna.
Larger antennas need special concrete pads built for them, but the smaller antennas of 3.8m or less can often sit
on the roof of a building or on a firm flat piece of ground.
37
5. Fundamentals of Vsat Installation
Excavating the whole for the antenna
Building the concrete pad
2-) Dish alignment
Installing the antenna on the support frame
Step3. VSAT Equipment mounting
Building the antenna is time consuming, depending upon its size it may take from one day to three days. The
larger antennas may need the help of a crane to position them on the mounting supports. The bolts that control
the antenna position should be left loose to enable final alignment with the satellite.
Typically the transceiver is mounted on the antenna support frame, with the IF cables being connected back into
the building where the modem and Internet routers are housed.
All items of equipment should be powered via a UPS to prevent damage in the event of power cuts.
Step 4. AntennaAlignment
Alignment of the antenna
An experienced engineer using a spectrum analyzer best performs this task. The satellites are located a
few degrees apart, finding the target satellite is a very difficult task. A professional installer will find a satellite
in a matter of a few hours. Installers with less experience can take weeks of frustrating effort before getting the
correct
alignment.
The final step in alignment is the Peak and Pole procedure with the satellite operations centre. They
will insist on co rrect alignment of the antenna and the polarizer in order to insure that the antenna is not
interfering with adjacent satellites or with other poles on the same satellite.

CONCLUSION
On the circuit commencement date, the duty engineers set-up a conference call between the satellite
operator and the client, in order to fully activate the link. Each sides ends up a test transmission at the approved
frequencies. The satellite operator measures the strength of signals and requests any power adjustments that may
be
required.
When both sides have achieved signal lock and the signal levels are running at the correct level, the
satellite
operator
gives
approval
for
commencement
of
service.
The final step is the connection of the data port at EX4U teleport to the Internet routers to enable the client to
begin voice or Internet services.
