Uplink Power Control System

Novella manufactures the UPC300 power control units which are used in conjunction with Novella's established tracking receivers, such as model B356, to adjust transmitted power of an uplink station in accordance with beacon loss at the same location.

Uplink Power Control System Technical Notes

Novella manufactures the UPC300 power control units which are used in conjunction with Novella's established tracking receivers, such as model B356, to adjust transmitted power of an uplink station in accordance with beacon loss at the same location.

These are very simple units with up to ten separate IF / L-band adjustable gain amplifiers whose gains are adjusted by the DC output voltage provided by the beacon receiver as a measure of beacon level.

This is a very simple way of increasing the transmitted power to compensate for uplink fade which is assumed to be approximately the same as the downlink fade.  Depth of fade correction may be selected from 2 to 10dB, and it prevents saturation of the HPA or other uplink systems.

Please consult Novella for further details of these systems.
