A real-only output is provided at the second IF frequency for analogue-to-digital conversion at a sample rate of 2.4 MHz. The image of the second mixing process is suppressed by means of a two-section polyphase filter. The ASIC performs a final frequency conversion to bring the signal to a quadrature pair at zero frequency. The transmit frequency plan is identical although the architecture is different. The DSP processor generates a pair of baseband quadrature components at a sample rate of 200 kHz. In digital hardware these are translated to an IF of 600 kHz at a sample rate of 2.4 MHz. The two quadrature components are converted to analogue signals in the DACs, filtered to remove alias components and translated in a single-side band mixer to an IF of 215 MHz. After filtering the signal is then mixed to the output frequency of 1616 to 1626.5 MHz. 3 The first spin on the Talladega PCB will use the H1b 8W PA, all subsequent spins will use the new lower power 2W PA.

RU1196/6596 Page 6 of 54 Product Description The satellite communications module consists of an L-Band Transceiver (LBT) capable of simultaneous transmit and receive (duplex) operation covering the frequency range of 1616MHz to 1626.5MHz. The frequency accesses used for duplex channels are organised into sub-bands each of which contains eight frequency accesses. Each sub-band, therefore occupies 333.33 kHz (i.e. 8x41.667kHz). Up to 30 sub-bands containing 240 frequency accesses may be used for duplex channels.
