Tooway ODU synthesis

> The following table provides G/T and EIRP performances of the Tooway ODU

Description EIRP @ 29.75GHz Rx G/T @ 19.95GHz

0.75m / 3W ODU 48.4dBW 17.2dB/K
1.0m / 3W ODU 51.2dBW 20.4dB/K
1.2m / 3W ODU 52.8dBW 23.0dB/K

> Tooway service deployment is foreseen with the smallest one, nevertheless a 1
and 1.2m antenna dish sizes could be used in the edge of KA-SAT coverage

> As 1 and 1.2m antenna dish size have an EIRP higher than 50dBW, the
distributor has to manage license issues

Multifeed for TV reception

page 19
Multifeed TV reception

Surfbeam 2 antenna pointed to 9 ° East

Multifeed reception on that antenna from following orbital pos.

5° W (AB 3 Fransat) possible with margin of about 4 dB

0.8° W in principle possible; further test on site
4.8° E in principle possible; further test on site
7° E not possible too close to Terminal feed require special development
9° E not possible as same orbital position of Ka Sat
13° E possible with sufficient margins
16° E not possible due to strong interference and insufficient power satellites
19.2° E possible with sufficient margins
28.5° E possible for all official Freesat channels with margins of
about 4 dB

Licensing for Tooway

CEPT RECOMMENDATION:
When a Terminal:

•Receives in the exclusive Satellite Band 19.7-20.2 GHz

• Is located more than 500 m away from any airport

• Transmits in the Exclusive Satellite Band (29.5 – 30.00GHz)

• Has a Transmit Power of no more than 2 Watt

• Generates an EIRP of no more than 50 dBW

NO INDIVIDUAL LICENSING IS REQUIRED

This blanket license applies to most European countries but all installers
must comply with local regulations

Paris, 5/8/2011 page 23
Network & Product Description
Health & security
Weight of antenna plus transceiver is 14Kgs
Lifting the antenna over shoulder – new drawing
Balance
Fix transceiver after securing antenna on mast

page 24
Health & security
Assessing building earth
Before linking the Tooway coaxial cable into the building
earthing system you should assess the building earth. If the
property does not conform to local regulations then the
customer must be informed
If the property does conform
then you should earth the
system to prevent static build up and or touch currents
•Identify a suitable earthing location (e.g. socket, lighting
circuit, electrical circuit)
•Install a coaxial cable earthing block and earth as shown

Installation position/ Line of Sight

There are 4 criteria for choosing a site for antenna

installation
1. Clear Line Of Sight (L.O.S)
2. Suitable surface for fixing antenna mount
3. Cable route and distance – Max 50m
4. Safety

page 27
Tooway manual
Line of Sight
There must be a 10 degree separation between the line of
sight angle and any obstacles

Normally a wall installation at high level gives the clearest L.O.S.
