AN/PSC-11 Single Channel Anti-Jam Manportable (SCAMP) Terminal

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The SCAMP terminal is a Milstar compatible satellite ground terminal which

Frequency: 44.5 GHz

Power: 2 W

provides digital data communications services. The receiver/transmitter

(RT-1770/PSC-11) is a primary component of the terminal; containing the

upconverter, amplifier, and antenna subsystrems. The antenna is a parabolic

reflector with off-set feed.

SYSTEM HAZARDS

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

This system is not able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in the main beam in

excess of the safety standard.

Open/cracked waveguides .......

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

hazardous PDLs to within 4 inches. Periodically inspect waveguides for cracks or leaks

and replace suspect waveguides.

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

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