Mini SNG
The trends in electronic news gathering are constantly changing. The trucks used in this industry are changing as well. Today’s SNG/ENG environment calls for faster, lighter, and less expensive vehicles to perform satellite operations. Traditional full-size vans, Sprinters, and other large trucks are now being replaced with SUVs, minivans, and even small hybrid station wagons! This puts additional pressure on the engineer to be able to utilize all the gear needed to effectively do the job. This means the equipment must be updated and modified as well to meet the demands of today’s field engineers. AVCOM’s MSNG Series does just that. The MSNG performs all the same tasks as its predecessor, the industry standard SNG, but at a size that’s over 60% shorter! The MSNG can be ordered with one or two inputs and LNB power as an option if needed.

Mount Design for Remote Monitoring and Control
The RSA offers the integrator total flexibility in a 1RU chassis. Configuration option makes the RSA the spectrum analyzer of choice with many SATCOM facilities. The RSA can support up to 6 inputs. Up to 16 different RSA’s can be monitored simultaneously from three locations via IP using the AVCOM EVO GUI software. Other options include choice of input
connectors, LNB power, preamps if trying to view very low-level signals, attenuators if viewing higher level signals, and down converters for viewing higher input frequencies. Whether you need a custom design or a simple design for your SATCOM needs, the RSA offers versatility at its best.

Performance & Specifications
The RSA is designed for the measurement and analysis of communications and broadcast carriers, making link, L-Band carriers, IF, and 10MHz reference signals easy to measure, monitor, and store. The RSA provides excellent uplink, downlink frequency and amplitude accuracy along with resolution bandwidth (RBW) selection from 10kHz to 1Mhz. This is required to allow viewing and monitoring of Telemetry, Tracking, Command Systems (TT&C), data carriers found in many satellite systems, spread spectrum, and Wi-Fi as well. Variable reference levels (RL) from -10dB to -50dB make viewing of smaller to larger signals possible.

Direct Replacement for TEK 1705A: Designed for satellite news gathering, the SNG is an excellent, cost effective upgrade to the discontinued Tektronix 1705A with a feature set that is second to none, giving the Satellite Technician a very useful tool for finding and peaking on satel- lites. The SNG is not only a spectrum analyzer but also a carrier monitor. The SNG also offers L.O. Frequency Offsets which al- lows the operator to display the frequency in L-Band, C-Band, Ku-Band, or any custom band needed.
