4.0 Introduction
This section describes various redundant system setups utilizing features available
with the Teledyne Paradise Datacom Redundant System Controller.
The controller allows monitor and control of all types of amplifiers, from Low Noise
Amplifiers (LNAs), Low Noise Block Converters (LNBs), Solid State Power Amplifiers
(SSPA), Solid State Power Amplifiers with Block Up Converters (SSPBs) or vBUC
amplifiers.
4.1 Operation of 1:1 System with RCP2-1100
Figure 4-1 shows the basic block diagram of a 1:1 redundant system. In normal opera-
tion one of the Amplifiers, 1 or 2, is considered the on-line amplifier and the other is in
standby. If a fault condition occurs in the on-line amplifier the standby unit can be
switched into the circuit by moving the transfer switches on the input and output side of
the amplifiers.
