Lab-Volt is proud to present a new pedagogical way to bring satellite communications training
in your classroom.
Specifically designed for hands-on training, the system covers modern satellite communication
technologies including analog and digital modulation. It is designed to use realistic
satellite uplink and downlink frequencies at safe power levels
and to reflect the standards commonly used in modern satellite communications systems.
It consists of an earth station transmitter, a satellite repeater, an earth station receiver,
an optional instrumentation and telemetry package
and the LVSAT software suite including an orbital mechanics simulation software.
This pedagogical system comes with full-color student manuals including full theory as well
as step by step lab procedures. It covers the study of
- Satellite Communication Fundamentals
- Analog Transmission - Digital Transmission
- Troubleshooting - Link Characteristics and Performance
- Orbital Mechanics - Satellite Orbits and Coverage
and Antenna Alignment for Geostationary Satellites The Lab-Volt SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS TRAINING
SYSTEM is a realistic system reflecting the standards and modulation types used in modern
satellite communications systems. The transmitter of the Earth Station is designed
to teach ground-segment signal processing, modulation, and frequency conversion techniques.
The analog modulation section uses wideband FM modulation, allowing transmission and
reception of analog signals such as video or audio with a bandwidth of up to 10 MHz
The digital link allows data rates up to 20 Mbit/s, including a 4 channel time division
multiplexer. It can also transmit computer files through
a dedicated usb digital connection. The intermediate frequency from the analog
or digital signal is then upcorverted to 11 Ghz for the satellite uplink
Our satellite repeater station takes the uplink
signals from up to six earth stations and shifts
them to a lower frequency, amplifies them, and then retransmit them as the downlink signal.
The earth station receiver down converts the 9 Ghz downlink signals and also includes the
needed digital and analog demodulators. The Telemetry capabilities of the system include
remote power measurement, gain control, and redundancy switching, as well as remote fault
insertion and diagnostics to teach satellite troubleshooting.
The telemetry and instrumentation package consists of the LVSAT software suite coupled
with the needed inputs and outputs for the data
acquisition, digital and analog generators as well as
the digital instruments of the telemetry. The USB Data Generation and Acquisition package
provide an Oscilloscope, a Spectrum Analyzer, a True RMS Voltmeter / Power Meter,
a Bit Error Rate Tester, an arbitrary waveform generator and 3 user-configurable Binary Sequence Generators.
Because the space segment is an essential
part of every satellite system, the Lab-volt
satellite communication training system offer includes an orbital mechanics and satellite software
simulator that demonstrate various aspects of satellite coverage such as visibility,
footprints, elevation contours, time of visibility, revisit
time, swath, satellite constellations, global and spot
satellite antenna beams, and instantaneous and long-term coverage.
