What is a cycle?
The smallest, identifiable and regularly occurring part of a motion that is repeated at regular time intervals.
(0,90,270,360)
Any point on Earth that a satellite can communicate with.
Satellite Terminal
Prevents electrical damage to SATCOM components.
Grounding Kit
What is the size of the ODIN SPHERE dish?
2.4 M
What is the size of the Mercury dawn dish?
1.2 M
What is the frequency range for HF?
3MHz - 30MHz
What are the two groups of satellites?
Bus and Payload
Filters noise from incoming signal.
Band-pass Filter
How many cases does the AN/TSC-212 have?
Six cases
How many cases does the SKIC come in?
Five cases
How does BLOS work?
Reflecting RF waves off of the atmosphere
Ability of communications equipment to handle more than one subscriber with minimal to no degradation in signal quality.
Multiple Access
Splits the receive and transmit paths in order to go to and from their respective components.
Diplexer
What type of keying does the HBSI-PT utilize?
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)
What networks does the AN/TSC-205 support?
JWICS and NSANet
What are the most common types of modulation?
Amplitude Modulation (signal strength), Frequency Modulation (number of cycles per second), Phase Modulation (direction)
A technique that matches user demands to available satellite resources.
Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA)
Boosts signal strength.
High Power Amplifier (HPA)
What is the the data rate for the ODIN SPHERE for transmitting and receiving?
2.5 Mbps upstream(Transmit), 2.5 Mbps downstream (Receive)
What are the the two main subsystems of the Mercury Dawn?
Hawkeye Lite III (HL3) and PacStar 4100-5
This type of polarization occurs when the orientation of the E-plane rotates in phase with the frequency; amplitude always stays constant.
Circular/ Elliptical Polarization
Three methods of encoding.
Sequential, Viterbi, and Manchester
12GHz - 18GHz
Ku Band

Case 2
What type(s) of modulation does the SKIC use?
Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), and Eight Phase Shift Keying (8PSK)
