5 BB100 Description Manual
Overview The BroadBand 100 (BB100)) is a complete stabilized Ku Band VSAT system for use in harsh marine environments. The BB100 includes an ultra-high efficiency 100cm carbon fiber parabolic reflector and feed, carbon fiber support structure, an ultra slim minimally signal attenuating radome, completely integrated electronics package within the radome and standalone antenna remote control unit. Everything needed to acquire re and track any Ku band satellite carrier is included in the BB100 system. An easy to use web interface is provided to the user for access to all BB100 status, control and programmable features. Unlimited choices of satellites can be pre-programmed pre programmed into the controllable for easy selection at a later date. All features necessary for commissioning on any satellite network are available in the web interface. No additional software is necessary and the unit can be access by any web interface using a PC, apple or Linux computer. The web interface can be accessed easily within a local onboard ship’s network or remotely across the internet using in-band band or out-of-band out links. All antenna and subsystem status are available locally or remotely using the BB100 web interface. The BB100 has two tracking receivers that provide the option of tracking a narrow band signal of any type or a specific DVB DVB-S signal of know characteristics. Additionally, the BB100 can track on a DVB-S2 S2 signal or any signal unknown characteristics characteristics (large or narrow band) when combined with its capability to use a Carrier Detect signal from satellite modems for absolute positive identification of correct signal during tracking lock.. The BB100 also has a hybrid mode that will use both tracking receivers receivers simultaneously for improved tracking on difficult to use carriers. The BB100 has an optional co co-polar polar feed for use in tracking unique transponders that transmit and receive on the same carrier polarity. The use of this feature is easily selected or deselected by the remote control unit software. An optional RF switch is available for improved reliability through dual antenna systems. The RF switch can provide switching via a gyro input for known shadow zones or it can additionally be used to provide soft fail over or hard fail over when a satellite signal degradation iss sensed from a given antenna. The BB100 is fully tested and certified to use the iDirect developed, open standard, Open AMIP protocol for automatic beam switching. This feature allows the he system to provide true global coverage without the need for user intervention.

10 BB100 Description Manual
Theory of Operation The BB100 provides stabilization using a two axes (2 degrees of freedom in elevation and azimuth) mechanical system. It also provides continuous tracking of proper signal polarization angle using a dynamically adjusted skewing system. This is in comparison to competitor antennas that typically require a third axis (tilt elevation) to accomplish similar (in some cases less) performance. Processing of the various inputs used for tracking is provided by an Antenna Remote Control Unit (ARCU). The ARCU also provides everything necessary for system set up, commissioning, remote system monitoring, multi multi-satellite satellite configuring and switching between satellite services. All these functions are managed through a WEB-based WEB user-friendly friendly interface. For description and use of the Web interface, please refer to the BBController User Operating Manual. The BB100 system is divided in three main sections: ADE (Above Decks Equipment) quipment) which includes all the equipment in the radome, the cabling system and BDE (Below Decks Equipment) which is basically only the ARCU and user selectable satellite modem. Below is a description of the components, operation and cable connections. Refer fer to the “Basic Components” diagram.
ADE (Above Decks Equipment) The main element in the radome is the parabolic dish (01) which receives the signal from the satellite. The system then routes the signal to an LNB (02) (Low Noise Block) via a splash ffeed and after being filtered by a transmit reject filter (08). The LNB (02) is a low noise amplifier which provides signal down conversion from Ku to L band. Besides the basic LNB that comes with the BB100,, the user may select any LNB he would like to use. For instance, the user may choose a high or low accuracy device based upon desirable tracking accuracy and price. Because the BB100 is a “force driven” design, components such as the LNB can be changed (as long as the selected component is reasonably within within the weight and size restrictions of the BB100 feed assembly) without the need for re-calibration re calibration of a system balance. After the amplification and the frequency conversion, the signal is sent to an RF splitter (03). The received signal is split to be received received by and on board DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) tuner and narrow band tuner (located in the PCU (06) and is also sent to a rotary joint (05) which further sends the RF signal to the ARCU and the satellite modem (customer supplied) below desks. The DVB and narrow band tuners process the signal from the satellite to provide a digital tracking signal to the navitrack controller and software contained within the PCU (06). The PCU (06) manages the orientation of the parabolic dish, keeping the antenna tr tracking the satellite on the basis of information from the DVB and narrow band tuners, receive lock from the ARCU (14), the external GPS (07) and position information from the inertial sensor (08). The BB100 contains two tracking tuners in order to provide the user with several increasingly accurate options for acquiring and tracking satellites. See the BB controller user guide for more information on these options.
11 BB100 Description Manual
To compensate vessel movements, the navitrack processor drives three motors, one for each of the three axes: yaw motor (09), roll motor (10) and skew motor (11). The navitrack communicates with the BDE through the communication module also contained within the PCU (06). For more information on the functions of the Navitrack Processor, see the separate parate Navitrack MarkII Product Description Manual. The BB100 ADE receives the signal from the satellite modem to be transmitted to the satellite via the Tx port at the base of the radome. From the TX port, the signal passes through a rotary joint (05), the he signal is then sent to the BUC (13) (Block Up Converter) for amplification and up-conversion conversion (from L to Ku band). Next the Ku band signal is feed to the feed assembly and is amplified and radiated towards the satellite by the reflector.
BDE (Below Decks ks Equipment) The below decks equipment includes the ARCU (14) (Antenna Remote Control Unit) and a user supplied satellite modem. The ARCU and an iDirect modem interface to each other via a custom serial cable connected to the modem console port and the ARCU Com1 port. CAT 6 cable may be used for this cable with RJ45 and DB-9 DB connectors at each end. On the Com3 port, the ARCU interfaces to a ship’s gyro via RS232 specified serial interface, with DB DB-9 at the ARCU end. The ARCU is integrated to use th thee iDirect OpenAMIP® protocol. OpenAMIP is a protocol developed by iDirect for standardizing the communication between the satellite modem and the antenna controller. The ARCU is a standard 3U, 19” Rack Mountable Equipment powered at 110 or 220 V AC. Using a built-in built in web server, the ARCU allows the antenna to be managed by any PC connected directly to the ARCU LAN port, or via a network connected to the LAN port (including over the internet). See the ARCU user guide for more information on the ARCU.
