AN/MSQ-114 Satellite Communications Control

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

The AN/MSQ-114 is a mobile satellite communications

Frequency: 7.9 8.4 GHz

Power: 400 500 W max

terminal. Its primary function is to continuously monitor

1 kW average (AM-7069)

the transmission of the communication satellite to ensure

that all ground mobile forces network terminals are

operating within the proper limits of frequency, power

output and channel capacity. It utilizes a 6.1 m parabolic

reflector antenna.

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

This system is not able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess of the safety

standard in the main beam.

Open/cracked waveguides .......

The area between the feed and the reflector and any open waveguide produce potentially

hazardous PDLs. Periodically inspect waveguides for cracks or leaks and replace

suspect waveguides. Where possible, replace flexible waveguides with rigid or semirigid

guides in fixed station configuration.

Other.................................

Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.

Specify use of dummy loads during maintenance operations.
