1:2 Tx Protection Switch Panel Subsystem
The 1:2 Tx Protection Switch Panel is a logic panel used in satellite communications earth stations. The system mechanism operates waveguide and coaxial switches to operator desired positions. The mechanisms provide switching operations for LNA’s and fiber link units in an automatic (unattended) or manual (local and or remote) mode. During normal operation of a protection switch panel, two active units are connected between the antenna and the indoor equipment. Click here to learn more.
