HIGHLY INTEGRATED VERY SMALL APERTURE TERMINAL (VSAT) APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

A method, and a VSAT capable of being configured for such a method, of configuring a VSAT, the steps of which are setting, while an outdoor unit of the VSAT is at a configuration location, a maximum value of the adjustable gain of the up-converting device and transmitting, from an operating location that is separate from the configuration location, transmission signals to the satellite at the transmission frequency and with a gain value of at most the maximum value of the adjustable gain set at the configuration location.

1. A system for communicating with a satellite, the system comprising:
an indoor unit (IDU), including an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexer configured to combine a DC power signal and a data signal into a bi-direction transmission signal, and output the transmission signal along a coaxial cable; and an outdoor unit (ODU) including electronic devices configured to receive the transmission signal via the coaxial cable, extract the data signal from the transmission signal, amplify the transmission signal, and transmit the extracted data signal to the satellite, wherein the electronic devices are energized using the DC power signal.
