What is the Standard Ethernet Color Code?
Diagnostic method where a signal is sent from a device and immediately returned to itself, creating a closed loop to verify the integrity of the device's internal hardware
What is a loopback?
Digital wireless technology that lets multiple users share the same frequency channel by dividing it into distinct time slots.
What is Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)?
This system only uses the Linkway modem
What is a VSAT-S?
Facilitates communication between the M&C Laptop and other key system components—including the RMR-1005, 303T ACU, and the Ethernet to Serial Converter—by providing a centralized Ethernet connection hub.
What is the MOXA Ethernet Switch?
Transfers data one bit at a time between two devices
What is a Serial Cable?
An electronic device or software that measures and displays the magnitude of a signal across a range of frequencies, providing information about its spectral composition
What is a spectrum analyzer?
This waveform transmits TDMA and receives FDMA.
What is iDirect?
Made to synchronize the network and allow multiple traffic terminals to operate on a single channel.
What is the Master Reference Terminal (MRT)?
Provides DC power to the LNB (18 VDC), including the 10MHz reference, and SSPA (24 VDC) on the ATLAS?GATR.
What is the DC Injection Unit (DCIU)?
Threaded RF connector used in signal strength testing to connect various devices, cables, and antennas
What is an N Type Connector?
An electronic measuring instrument that combines multiple measurement tools in one, most commonly used to measure electrical quantities like voltage, current, and resistance
What is a multimeter?
Technology that lets multiple users share a single communication path by dividing the total bandwidth into separate, non-overlapping frequency channels
What is Frequency Division Multiple Access?
A Multiband (X, Ku, Ka) Super High Frequency (SHF), multi-waveform terminal.
What is a MCWS-X?
Converts data signals for transmissions over extended distances on a VSAT-L
What is the CVMCU2?
Reduces the strength or amplitude of a signal.
What is an Attenuator?
A measurement device designed for the precise assessment of electrical resistance
What is an Ohm meter?
18200 MHz
What is the KA-Commercial local oscillator?
Flat-panel antenna for mobile connectivity across multiple satellite constellations, used for land, sea, and air applications.
What is a Kymeta Osprey?
Consists of computer, various power adapters, and cables used to interconnect the devices. It acts as a storage device and a viewer for data and video products on the PRS-11.
What is the Receive Broadcast Manager (RBM)?
Ensures the load is equal from input to output. Maximizes power transfer and minimizes signal reflection.
What is Impedance Matching?
Checks if an electrical path is complete, meaning current can flow, indicating a closed circuit with low resistance
What is a continuity test?
A turnkey service that allows mobile satellite terminals to have instant access to internet applications and services. The ______ system operates with a high rate outbound channel with a large rate of smaller inbound channels.
What is Arclight?
Transmit an EHF uplink and receive an SHF downlink. Uses a frequency range of 2-30MHz at a vertical polarization.
What is a Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliable Tactical Terminal?
Provides part of the time/frequency reference that allows the TEU to keep accurate internal time on the SMART-T system.
Microprocessor Compensated Crystal Oscillator Module (MCXO)
