Contents • Function Of Multiplexers • Overview of Designing of Dielectric resonant Filter • Overview of Designing of Waveguide Filter • Waveguide Manifold Designing • Multiplexer design
FUNCTION OF MULTIPLEXERS • Channelizing the frequency (necessary due to non-linearity of TWTA) • Power per carrier & EIRP increased • Division of received signals - I/P Multiplexers (IMUX) • Recombining of amplified signals - O/P Multiplexers (OMUX)
MULTIPATH EFFECT IN SATELLITE CHANNELS • Channelization of received signals to minimize inter-modulation generation in high power amplifiers • Incoming signal may take as many coherent paths as there are number of transponders • Leakage through each path adds in coherent manner at the OMUX output • Amplitude & phase response of the channel changes due to leakage path • Sensitive to difference in gain between adjacent transponders
Example: • Ku-band INSAT-4CR Communication Payload: • Available bandwidth : 480 MHz • Number of transponders = 12 • Available bandwidth / Transponder = 40 MHz • No. of TWTAs = 12 • TWTA O/P Power = 140 Watts

DESIGN OF HIGH POWER MUX: • Ku-BAND 12 CHANNEL MUX (EXAMPLE): MECHANICAL LAYOUT OF Ku BAND MUX
Future work: Achieve Sharp cutoff for a pass band • Ratio of the Usable Bandwidth / Available Bandwidth is Utilization of the Frequency Spectrum is 90 % because we have to include guard bands Use of Saw filters in Satellites to make them small
