AN/USC-60 Flyaway Triband Satellite (FTSAT) Terminal

AN/USC-60 Flyaway Triband Satellite (FTSAT) Terminal

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/USC-60 is a lightweight commercial satellite communications

Frequency: 5850 6426 MHz (C-Band)

terminal. It utilizes a 1.8 m parabolic reflector antenna. The FTSAT consists

7900 8400 MHz (K-Band)

of a receiver group, transmitter group, antenna group, baseband group, power

14.0 14.5 GHz (Ku-Band)

group, auxiliary equipment group, and control group.

Power: 500 W average

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.

Hazard distance from antenna...

When operating in the C-Band, exclude personnel to a distance of 26 m from the

antenna. When operating in the X-Band, exclude personnel to a distance of 44 m from

the antenna. When operating in the Ku-Band, exclude personnel to a distance of 105 m

from the antenna. When operating the antenna at elevations of +5 and +10 degrees,

personnel should observe a distance of at least 12 m and 6 m, respectively, from the front

of the antenna.

Open/cracked waveguide .......

The area between the antenna feedhorn and the reflector and any open waveguide

produce potentially hazardous PDLs. Exclude personnel from these areas. Periodically

inspect waveguides for cracks or leaks and replace suspect waveguides.

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

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