Section 1

System Overview
This section describes the specifications for the ProScan III Central Receive Antenna.

1.0 System Overview

The Proscan III is a new advanded design featuring a full 360 degree rotating reflector in a compact radome. The
Proscan III offfers significand wind loading reduction over the ProScan II. For maintenance and calibration, a front
access door provides easy access. Or, the front of the radome can be removed for added access space. The
ProScan III has a 1.4 Meter Cosecant squared reflector which eliminates requirements for elevation travel in most
applications.

TheProScan III antenna uses modern solid-state MMICs to perform RF switching in the feed, thus eliminating all
electromechanical RF switches. This feature greatly improves the reliability of the RF switching system over tradi-
tional antennas that can employ up to 11 of these electromechanical switches.

To provide optimal performance, the ProScan III feed assembly includes low noise amplifiers (LNA), pin diode
switches, solid-state RF switches, and a PCS rejection filter. LNA gain reduction is provided as a standard feature to
reduce receiver overloading under strong signal conditions (2 GHz RADIO ONLY, CANNOT BYPASS 7 GHz
LNA.)

In addition, the overall power requirements of the rotating system and feed assembly have been greatly reduced.

The feed design permits a full range of remote switching options with the LNA/block down converter mounted in the
feed to minimize the loss occurred through cables.

For dual band operations, an optional 7 GHz LNA/feed assembly is available. The 7 GHz system also uses solid-
state MMIC switches and LNAs. The 7 GHz band output is fed to a block down converter that converts the 7 GHz
signal to an intermediate frequency in the 1.925 to 2.725 GHz range. An internal solid-state switch selects either the
2 GHz band or the converted 7 GHz band, thereby allowing the user to use a single interconnection coaxial cable
between the antenna and the microwave central receiver for dual band operation.

The dual speed rotator is enclosed in a low-profile, aesthetically pleasing radome. It has been designed using proven
technology for reliability. Lightning and surge suppression is provided within the unit. The rotator assembly is con-
structed of aluminum and stainless steel , thus eliminating the possibility of corrosion.

1.1 Optional Equipment

The ProScan III can be ordered with an optional continuous rotation version, which includes slip rings and an RF
rotary joint. RWI also offers a range of modern, easy to use antenna control systems for theProScan III antenna.

7. 9.125GHz Digital Ready DRO (103225-1)

8. Surge Board Assembly (100426-1)

9. Rotator Assembly

10. Radome (103240-1)

11. Optional Slip-Ring Assembly

2.1 2 GHz Pin Diode Switch Assembly

This assembly is a solid-state device designed to replace RF switches and a hybrid module, in order to attain hori-
zontal, vertical or circular polarization. There are separate inputs for vertical and horizontal with a single output.
The output defaults to RCP and is switchable to LCP, horizontal, or vertical. Input voltages are +5V and -5V and
polarization is controlled via TTL signals on pins E1 and E2.

2.2 2 GHz LNA Assembly

The LNA is a 23 dB gain amplifier with a solid-state bypass. The low gain is driven by the controllerjusing the gain
reductin button. This bypass reduces the gain to 12 dB for high signal strengths or low-loss cable situations, as too
much gain may cause receiver overload.

Proscan III Operator’s Guide 2-1

Proscan III Operator’s Guide

2.3 7 GHz Switch Assembly

This assembly is an amplified switch designed to attain horizontal, vertical or circular polarization. There are
separate inputs for horizontal and vertical, each input is separately amplified, using a matched pair of amplifiers.
The gain from the unit is 10 dB ±2 dB. Isolation between the channels is no less than 15 dB.

The selection of polarity is accomplished using pins “A”, ”B”, “C”, and “D”. The control voltage on pins “A” and
“B” are +5 Vdc and on pins “C” and “D” are -12 Vdc. The following table indicates which voltages are applied for
the different polarities.
A B C D
RCP +5 +5 0 -12
LCP +5 +5 -12 0
HOR +5 0 -12 0
VER 0 +5 0 -12

2.4 7 GHz Block Down Converter/LNA

This converter consists of a 7 GHz LNA at the input, followed by a printed bandpass filter. The output of the filter is
connected to a microwave mixer which converts the signal to the 1.925 to 2.725 GHz range.

This module also includes a solid-state switch that is used to switch between the 7 GHz and 2 GHz bands. Both the
2 GHz LNA and the 7 GHz switch feed this module for dual band applications.

The 7 GHz input is amplified using a low noise amplifier by 20 dB ±2 dB.

The output of this module feeds a single coax interconnection cable.

Band selection is accomplished by the “BAND” switch on the local or remote controller.

2.5 General
All switching functions on the feed assembly-that is, LCP, vertical, or horizontal polarization selections-are accom-
plished by grounding the appropriate wire or pin on the input connector to the feed.

If no lead is grounded, the feed is switched to RCP, 2 GHz, and high gain by default.

The same format is used for LNA gain and band selection.

2.6 Feed Control Board P/N 103246-1

The feed control board is mounted in the feed on the antenna arm. It derives its input from the surge suppressor
board mounted in the pedestal. J1 on the feed control board is connected to J2 on the surge suppressor board.

Proscan III Operator’s Guide 2-2

Proscan III Operator’s Guide

2.7 Control Functions

The local controller controls the various switch functions in the feed by providing a ground return for that function
which causes a relay on the surge suppressor board to close. That closure in turn provides a ground return for the
appropriate control relay in the feed control board which controls the bias to the various amplifiers and switch
modules. The feed control board also accepts +24V input and regulates it to ±12V and ±5V. This board provides
power to the 2 GHz switch module through J2 and to the 2 GHz LNA through J4. It also provides power to the
7 GHz switch through J5, the 7 GHz block down converter through J6 and the 9.125 Digital DRO through J7.

2.8 Rotator Assembly

The pan and tilt assembly allows precise positioning of the antenna position in both azimuth and elevation.
In the CRO model, feed control and R.F. are routed to the feed thru slip rings and rotary joints allowing for Continu-
ous ROtation. Uninterrupted rotaion eliminates the need for “track back” when crossing over the dead band found in
non-continuous pan and tilts. Azimuth analog voltage is developed by a precision digital position encoder, gear driven
off the main drive shaft. The output voltage varies between 0.1 and 3.50 VDC. The encoder is enclosed in a RF
shielding enclosure and features non-volatile memory so position location is not lost in the event of a power failure.

In the NCRO model, feed control and RF are hard wired. In the Non Continuous ROtaion pan and tilt, azimuth is
limited to 365 degrees by mechanical limit switches. The position sensor in the NCRO product is a precision 10 turn
5K pot also gear driven off the main drive shaft. The output voltage range is 0.0 VDC to +5 VDC.

In both models, rotary motion is supplied by a permanent magnet D.C. gear reduction motor and a reliable combina-
tion of worm gear and chain drives. The permantnt magnet motor eliminates the need for D.C. field power. Power
for the motor is approximately 100 VDC for fast and 50 VDC for slow rotation speeds.
In mounting the NCRO model it is important to orient the pedestal in the proper direction. The mechanical stops are
in line with the power connector on the fiberglass radome. The connector, and thus the stops, should be pointed
where it is anticipated that the fewest numbers of signals will come from or in the direction of a obstruction. i.e. a
tower leg, building etc. The CRO model has no such restrictions, however the azimuth analog cross-over point is in
line with the connector.

Section 3

Installation & Maintenance

3.0 Scope
This section describes the installation and maintenance for the ProScan III Central Receive Antenna.

3.1 Unpacking and Handling

Each system is shipped with all equipment assembled and tested and then packaged in appropriate shipping contain-
ers. Care should be taken when removing equipment from containers to prevent damage to the units. Ensure that all
parts and accessories are removed from the container and packing material before they are discarded.

DO NOT discard the container or any packing material until mechanical inspection has been satisfactorily com-
pleted. This material must be available if a damage claim is to be made with the carrier

Mechanical Inspection

Inspect the equipment for mechanical shipping damage. Make sure that the equipment is clean and no connectors,
controls or indicators are broken, damaged or loose.

Note: Do not alter internal controls unless so directed in the following procedures. Units are
completely aligned at the factory and may require only minor adjustments once installed.

Damage in Shipment

Should any damage be discovered after unpacking the system, immediately file a claim with the carrier. A full report
of the damage should be made and a copy forwarded to RWI. The company will then advise disposition of the
equipment.

Return Authorization

Subject to standard terms of the warranty policy, RWI will repair all defective equipment. Material forwarded to
RWI must be accompanied by a Return Material Authorization Tag which is available upon request by calling our
Customer Service Department at (978) 459-8800.

3.2 Antenna Assembly Location

The Tracking Antenna should be located as high and clear of local obstructions as possible. The effective radio
horizon for an antenna at 1,000 feet AGL is approximately 45 miles. This does not account for Fresnel Zone clear-
ance and will result in a grazing path at the expense of approximately 6 dB in net path loss in computing system
performance.

3-1 Installation and Maintenance

Proscan III Operator’s Guide
Important factors that must be considered in the determination of the final receiving location are:

1. Geometry of Host Location and General Areas of Coverage. Carefully examine local area maps and
physically check all important coverage locales where mobile or airborne transmitters may be located. A
clear line-of-site (LOS), free of major obstructions such as buildings and trees, is desirable.

2. A very important factor to consider is the permissible mounting points of the antenna, relative to the areas
of coverage. Where maximum range is required, avoid looking back through densely laced tower
structure, particularly where there may be a series of closely spaced transmission lines serving existing
antennas for other services.

3.3 Maintenance
Periodic inspection of the Antenna should be performed at least every 6 months.

Note: After any severe weather conditions, inspection of the Antennas should be performed to
determine if foreign objects have caused damage or if survival specifications have been
exceeded.

This inspection should include the following:

1. Check all bolting locations. All bolts, especially those securing the pedestal base to the mounting
platform, should be tight and show no evidence of failure.

2. Check for any sign of corrosion.

3. Check all cable connectors and “tie downs”. Repair or replace if necessary.

4. Check all hardware. Repair or replace if damaged.

5. Check integrity of all gaskets. Replace gaskets if there is sign of deterioration or water leakage.

6. Check for obstructions in the drain holes located at the base of the radome (3 places).

3.4 Installation Practices

Mounting (See Figure 3-1 for mounting hole pattern information.)

Be sure to allow sufficient clearance for antenna assembly. The services of a structural consultant is advised to
ensure that local standards are complied with and that wind pressure reactions are within the design margin of the
tower or building interface.

CAUTION: Do not lift antenna by the radome; use of a sling underneath the antenna assembly is
recommended during installation.

RWI strongly recommends that the Antenna Pedestal, cabling and controller be tested
and assembled prior to tower installation. Interconnect system as shown in Figure 3-2,
System Block Diagram and perform an operational test of all functions.

3.5 Antenna Protection

Grounding
Ground the Antenna Assembly to a common point on the mounting structure. Use a standard copper conductor
(#12 AWG or larger), run in relatively short straight connections. Avoiding sharp bends connect the ground wire to a
compression connector that is welded or braised to a tower leg member. A commercially available grounding kit
should be applied to the antenna end of the coaxial that is electrically connected to the tower ground. A second
grounding kit should be applied to the coaxial downlead at the base of the tower, or just before it enters the building.
This ground should be solidly returned to the buried station ground ring. Use #2 and #4 solid base copper wire that
is mechanically protected, but not in metallic conduit, with an exothermic connector.

Connectors, Weather-Resistant
As supplied, the various exposed connectors and cables are weather-resistant. It is recommended that all connectors
be over taped with electrical joint compound and finally with PVC tape (do not use polyethylene). Do not cover
pressure plug fittings on coaxial air lines.

Falling Ice
In certain geographical areas, the tower structure may be subjected to the accumulation of ice on its upper surfaces.
If the antenna is mounted on such a tower experiencing buildup of 1/2" or more radial ice, it is highly recommended
that overhead protection be provided. If used, ice shields should be factored in the tower loading computation by the
consultant. Provide adequate vertical separation of this type of metallic surface from the antenna for maintenance
and antenna pattern preservation purposes.
