Placing the Antenna


Avoiding obstructions

For GMDSS installations


If the installation shall comply with GMDSS in accordance with the international standard IEC 61097-10, please note as follows:
It is desirable that the antenna be sited in such a position that no obstacle
likely to significantly degrade the performance of the equipment appears in
any azimuth down to an elevation angle of -5 degrees.
The siting of the antenna needs careful consideration, taking into account
the adverse effect of high levels of vibration which may be introduced by
the use of a tall mast and the need to minimise shadow sectors. Objects,
especially those within 10 m of the radome which cause a shadow sector of
more than 6 degrees, are likely to significantly degrade the performance of
the equipment.
For non-GMDSS installations
The antenna has a beamwidth of 10 degrees and ideally requires a free
line of sight in all directions above an elevation angle of +5 degrees.
Any obstruction will cause blind sectors, resulting in signal degradation or
even loss of communication with the satellite.
Degradation of the satellite signal can only be completely avoided by placing the antenna higher than any obstructions. This is often not feasible and
a compromise must be made to reduce the number of blind sectors and
cost of installation.
The degree of signal degradation depends on the size of the obstructions;
the distance to them must therefore be considered.
Preferably, all obstructions within 3 m of the antenna should be avoided.
Obstructions less than 15 cm in diameter can be ignored beyond this
distance.

Radiation precautions

Passengers should not be admitted in areas closer than 5 m from the


antenna.
However, no restrictions are required when the antenna radome is installed
at least 2 m above the highest point accessible to passengers.
Authorized personnel should not be near the antenna for periods of more
than 1 hour per day without switching off the RF transmitter.

Avoiding interference

Do not locate the antenna close to interfering signal sources, or in such a


position that the source (e.g. radar-antenna) radiates directly into the Saturn antenna.

AVOID INTERFERENCE
E.G. FROM THE RADAR

10 CM
RADAR

10

The Above Decks Equipment (ADE) should be separated as far as possible


from other transmitters, and preferably by at least 5 m from the antenna of
other communication or navigation equipment, such as the antenna of the
satellite navigator, the VHF antenna or radar equipment.
Compass safe distance

For installation on British or Norwegian vessels, the antenna should be


located at a distance of at least 1.0 metres from the magnetic steering
compass. Be aware that requirements may vary from one country to
another.

Other precautions

Do not place the antenna close to the funnel, as smoke deposits will then
eventually degrade antenna performance.
Regardless of the location chosen for the antenna, it should point forward
in parallel with the ships longitudinal axis when in the middle of its azimuth
range, which will correspond to zero degrees on the azimuth indicator. The
forward direction is indicated on the antenna radome with a heading mark
The antenna should be installed so that severe vibration and shock
are avoided.
If installed on top of a signal and radar mast, the mast must be
supported by stays.
The coaxial cable runs out from the antenna foot in the direction of
the heading mark.

Installation Manual

PLANNING

Saturn Bm

Designing the Antenna mast


The mast must be designed to carry the weight of the antenna unit, approximately 90 kg. It must be able to withstand wind forces of up to 120 knots on
the radome as well as the onboard vibration levels. The radome is 1.445 m
high and has a maximum diameter of 1.42 m.
The top end of the mast should be fitted with a flange with holes matching the
bolts extending from the bottom of the radome. See figure below. The flange
must not be so large as to interfere with the hatch at the bottom of the antenna unit. The holes through the mast flange must be positioned symmetrically about the ships longitudinal axis.
A HEADING mark on the radome indicates the forward direction of the
antenna.
NOTE: If necessary to disalign heading mark, (because of hatch accessibility),
the antenna inside the radome has to be aligned towards ship's heading. This
must be done before fixed to the antenna mast. (Pedestal coax outlet = Pedestal heading mark. (See Installation: "Connecting up Above Decks Equipment").
NOTE: On ships with excessive vibration the mast must be supported by stays
or other adequate means.
If the height of the mast makes it necessary to climb up to the antenna unit, a
ladder must be provided on the mast
column. A guard rail must be attached to
ANTENNA
UNIT
the upper section for safety purposes. If the
height of the mast exceeds approximately
4.5 metres, an access platform should be
attached to the mast approximately 1 metre
below the radome bottom.

Grounding considerations

A successful installation of a maritime satellite terminal must take into


account the noisy environment in which the equipment shall operate.
Electrical noise

The electrical environment on board a ship is usually quite noisy. Powerful electrical installations cause voltage variations and transients, as well
as low and high frequency noise. Radio and radar equipment radiate
radio frequency signals which frequently impregnate cables on board
with unwanted interference.

Ground plane

Most ships have a steel hull. One should think that the steel construction
of the ship would constitute a good ground plane. This is often not quite
true. Rust, other forms of corrosion, paint and grease, often prevent a
good ground connection. A consequence of this is that high energy
power distribution on board a ship can cause significant ground potential
differences.

Antenna unit

Adequate grounding of the Antenna Unit depends on the fastening bolts


making good contact with the top flange of the mast. This is obtained by

Antenna cable

The antenna coaxial cable normally has a solid or meshed metal screen
which must be terminated to ground both at the antenna pedestal and at
the MCU. The length of the cable can often be more than 40 metres. If
the ground potential level at the two points differ, the current passing
through the screen of the coaxial cable can be quite strong. The antenna
cable screen constitutes a heavy gauge wire, which is capable of conducting large amounts of current.
If the ground lead from the MCU to the ships ground is of lighter gauge,
the MCU will be raised to a different ground potential.
Nera recommends that the antenna cable screen be clamped to ground
at the ships deck in such a way that the screen passes through the
grounded clamp before the coaxial cable is terminated locally. This will
confine any noise current caused by potential difference to the cable
screen. This method is far superior to grounding the shield using pig tail
ground jumpers. This principle of using shielded cables where the shields
are clamped to ground should be employed as far as possible to all
cables connected to the Saturn satellite terminal.

Below Decks Equipment The MCU must be provided with a good electrical connection to the
ships hull for grounding. This is obtained by using Termination Box
QUFC 911 948 as a common grounding point for MCU, external Power
Supply and Antenna Cable. (See Installation: "Location and grounding
of units: Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3".) Length of copper
foil/3 cm should not exceed 30 cm. Length of copper foil/10 cm should
not exceed 300 cm. The foil/10 cm should be connected to ship's hull
(deck or roof) by hard-soldering (or screws) to steel.
Mains power/ground

Installation Manual

Mains ground is secured to the common grounding point through the


external Power Supply. It is therefore important to use the same mains
branch for additional equipment connected to the MCU (Fax, PC, Printer
etc.).

Laying cables

The coaxial cable for connection between the MCU and the Antenna Unit
should, if possible, be laid before the equipment arrives. Make sure sufficient
length of cable is ordered.

General

Where exposed to mechanical wear (on deck, through bulkheads etc.), the
cable should be protected by steel pipes. Standard procedures should otherwise be followed for cabling in ship installations.
Special attention to existing safety regulations is required if the cable passes
through zones where there may be flammable or explosive gases. Use suitable gasproof cable glands or bushings.
Double screen 50 coaxial cable must be used. The maximum length of the
coaxial cable is limited by the DC and RF loss through the cable:
Maximum DC loss:
Maximum RF attenuation at 1525-1660 MHz:

R loop 0.6 ohm

Reception of L-band Broadcast signals


In addition to regular 1.5/1.6 GHz, used for the various Inmarsat systems, the
transponders in the satellite also broadcast leased channel info.
The design of Saturn B with L-band (1.5/1.6 GHz) signals between ADE and
BDE, easily enable insertion of Directional Couplers to pick up broadcast RF
signals.
Such signals are Differential GPS (GPS corrections), Maritime Chart Corrections, Radio Broadcasting channels, etc.
The diagram below indicates typical installation for reception of broadcast
signals.

Saturn Bm
Activation of "Radio Silence"

A Radio Silence function may be activated in the Saturn B terminal if the


MCU is provided with SW version 4.0 and above.
The function may be opened from the Display Handset through Function 78,
which is accessible when in Service level (see Saturn Bm Technical Manual).
Radio Silence is specially applicable onboard warships on which, at certain
periods, it is required that NO radiation shall take place.
The "Radio Silence" function will not affect the satellite tracking function.
In addition to opening the Radio Silence function an external switch must be
installed wired to pin no.1 and 2 of the AUX connector on the MCU.
This switch shall have 2 positions (OPEN or CLOSED).
Pin 7 and 8 of the AUX connector may be used for external indication of
"Radio Silence".
See below.
Radio Silence Mode
When the MCU is opened for Radio Silence,
and the switch is CLOSED
(connection between pin no.1 and 2 of the
AUX. port) the equipment is inhibited to
send, even Distress. The equipment may,
however, receive simplex broadcast
messages.
Shortly after the switch is
CLOSED, an internal relay
AUX connector
will start to turn the "Radio
Silence" indicator ON and
OFF for a few seconds
followed by steady ON
(relay closed), until the the
"Radio Silence" switch
Radio
again is opened.
Normal Operation Mode
When the MCU is opened
for Radio Silence function with the switch OPEN,
(no contact between pin 1
and 2) Saturn Bm operates as normal.
