Revision 10 C-8 450-<strong>SN</strong>UG<br />

Table C-3. Acquisition Events for TDRSS Services (Normal Forward and Return) (cont’d)<br />

Event Time<br />

Customer platform<br />

configured for<br />

forward service<br />

(note 1)<br />

Forward service<br />

begins<br />

TF - Receiver configured;<br />

receiving antenna open-loop<br />

pointed toward TDRS;<br />

forward signal acquisition<br />

process enabled; autotrack<br />

process enabled (if<br />

applicable).<br />

Equipment Status<br />

Customer Platform TDRS/Ground Terminal<br />

TF Continuing as above Ground terminal GCE<br />

activated; ground terminal<br />

transmits forward service<br />

signal<br />

Remarks<br />

Continuing as above Customer platform configured <br />

units of time prior to scheduled<br />

service start time (or prior to end<br />

of previous service support<br />

period); SHO must define<br />

customer platform receiver<br />

frequency to within 700 Hz for<br />

S-band, and within ±5 kHz for<br />

Ku-band, and ±6 kHz (Ka-band).<br />

Recommended that customer<br />

MOC not transmit forward<br />

service data until sufficient time<br />

has elapsed for customer<br />

platform acquisition of command<br />

channel PN code, carrier, and<br />

range channel PN code, or until<br />

return service data stream, if<br />

available, indicates customer<br />

platform receiver carrier lock;<br />

recommended that Doppler<br />

compensation (carrier, PN code<br />

clocks) be scheduled during<br />

forward service signal<br />

acquisition (not automatic, must<br />

be in SHO).<br />

No command channel PN code<br />

modulation for forward service<br />

data rates >300 kbps.
