COMMUNICATIONCOMMUNICATION

Communication is the process of Communication is the process of establishing connection or link establishing connection or link between two points for information between two points for information exchange.. exchange..

There are two types of There are two types of communication:communication:

• ANALOG COMMUNICATIONANALOG COMMUNICATION• DIGITAL COMMUNICATION DIGITAL COMMUNICATION

This network is provided by operators like BSNL or VSNL in form of leased line which is dedicated line. The VSNL in form of leased line which is dedicated line. The speed provided is upto 2mbpsspeed provided is upto 2mbps

VSAT NETWORK :-VSAT NETWORK :-It is Very Small Aperture Network It is Very Small Aperture Network is satellite based network. It is used as a backup network. is satellite based network. It is used as a backup network. The speed provided by VSAT is about 2mbpsThe speed provided by VSAT is about 2mbps

VSATVSAT

A Very Small Aperture Terminal A Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) is a two way satellite ground (VSAT) is a two way satellite ground station with a dish antenna that is a station with a dish antenna that is a smaller than 3 mts (most VSAT smaller than 3 mts (most VSAT antennas range from 75 cm to 1.2 m) antennas range from 75 cm to 1.2 m) VSAT data rates typically range from VSAT data rates typically range from small remote earth stations small remote earth stations (terminals) to other terminals (in (terminals) to other terminals (in mesh configurations) or master earth mesh configurations) or master earth stations “hubs”. stations “hubs”.

NTPC VSATNTPC VSAT

NTPC VSAT is designed to carry three NTPC VSAT is designed to carry three voice channels for traffic, one voice channels for traffic, one channel for ESC, and one data channel for ESC, and one data channel for high speed data and one channel for high speed data and one data channel for low speed GDAMS. data channel for low speed GDAMS. The data rates of the three channels The data rates of the three channels are as follows:are as follows:• Voice channel = 16 KbpsVoice channel = 16 Kbps• High speed data channel = 512 KbpsHigh speed data channel = 512 Kbps

SSPA (Solid State Power Amplifier)SSPA (Solid State Power Amplifier) LNBC (Low noise block converter).LNBC (Low noise block converter). RFT (Radio Frequency Transmitter).RFT (Radio Frequency Transmitter).

SSPA (Solid State Power SSPA (Solid State Power AmplifierAmplifier

The SSPA provides signal amplification as The SSPA provides signal amplification as a final step before transmission. a final step before transmission.

The SSPA receives a 6 GHz RF input from The SSPA receives a 6 GHz RF input from the 2nd up-converter unit. Power the 2nd up-converter unit. Power amplification is of 10W or 40 DB. Given the amplification is of 10W or 40 DB. Given the SSPA gain, the input RF drive level must SSPA gain, the input RF drive level must be at no less than 0 dbm in order to be at no less than 0 dbm in order to achieve the output power level of the achieve the output power level of the SSPA. SSPA.

LNBC (Low Noise Block LNBC (Low Noise Block Converter)Converter)

RFT (Radio Frequency RFT (Radio Frequency Transmitter)Transmitter)

The RFT up converts a 70 or 140 MHz IF The RFT up converts a 70 or 140 MHz IF signal from a modulator to an RF signal from a modulator to an RF frequency in the 6 GHz satellite band. The frequency in the 6 GHz satellite band. The transmitter may be configured as gain transmitter may be configured as gain block, or optimally as automatic level block, or optimally as automatic level control or automatic gain control unit.control or automatic gain control unit.

On the receive side the LNBC down-On the receive side the LNBC down-converts the satellite downlink band to converts the satellite downlink band to 1.4GHz and then RFT further down-1.4GHz and then RFT further down-converts it to 70 MHz band.converts it to 70 MHz band.

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION

Hence we have seen the NTPC’s communication Hence we have seen the NTPC’s communication network and learnt about the satellite link, satellite network and learnt about the satellite link, satellite bandwidth what we are using, link calculations and about bandwidth what we are using, link calculations and about the main equipments and their technical specifications. the main equipments and their technical specifications. Now in the new era of ERP the communication facilities Now in the new era of ERP the communication facilities have to very rugged and they should provide have to very rugged and they should provide communication with zero down time. communication with zero down time. In the fast changing world of communication NTPC may In the fast changing world of communication NTPC may go for any other means of communication like cell go for any other means of communication like cell phones, WAP enabled communication, large bandwidth phones, WAP enabled communication, large bandwidth networks, ISDN (Auraiya has already installed the ISDN networks, ISDN (Auraiya has already installed the ISDN communication as a backup Link), video conferencing in communication as a backup Link), video conferencing in all the projects etc. but any how VSAT communication all the projects etc. but any how VSAT communication will still have a lion’s share in NTPC. will still have a lion’s share in NTPC.
