SATELLITE COMMUNICATION
SATCOM means communication through satellite. Satellites are of two types (a) Geostationary Satellites. (b) Low-orbit Satellites.

SATELLITE USED BY NTPC

The satellite used in NTPC is Geostationary satellite in which the satellite is just placed above the equator. The satellite used by NTPC is INSAT 3E. It carries 24 norm C band and12 extended C band transponders.

INSAT 3E DETAILS

It is 4th satellite launched in 3e series

LAUNCH DATE :- 28/09/2003 MISSION :- Communication SPACE CRAFT MASS :-2775kg LAUNCH SITE :-French Guyana ORBIT :-Geostationary LAUNCH VEHICLE :-Ariane5-V162

COMMUNICATION
Communication is the process of establishing connection or link between two points for information exchange.. There are two types of communication:
ANALOG COMMUNICATION DIGITAL COMMUNICATION

TYPES OF NETWORKS USED BY NTPC

MPLS NETWORK :-It is a Multiple Protocol Level

Shift Network. It provides a network speed of 2mbps to 34 mbps. It is the primary network used by the NTPC sites

ISDN NETWORK :-It is Integrated Service Digital

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

VSAT NETWORK :-It is Very Small Aperture Network

is satellite based network. It is used as a backup network. The speed provided by VSAT is about 2mbps

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

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

DETALS AND FACTS ABOUT THE SATELLITE USED IN NTPC

Uplink frequency is 6.15 GHZ BW OF 350KHZ in Analog and bit rate is 256 Kbps in digital Down link frequency is 3.8 GHZ Standard carrier frequency analog signal is 70 MHZ Router used here is of pf NORTEL. AUGPP antenna is using power amplifier of 10 W

COMPONENTS USED IN COMMUNICATION

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

SSPA (Solid State Power Amplifier

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

LNBC (Low Noise Block Converter)

The low noise block converter is designed to operate with any SSE technologies C-band transceiver. The LNB is available for 70MHz and 140 MHz. The LNBC incorporates a low noise a low noise, high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) as well as Gallium arsenide Field Effect Transistors (GaAsFET) to provide a system, noise temperature better than 65 K. Lower noise figures of 45 K are available as an option.

RFT (Radio Frequency Transmitter)

The RFT up converts a 70 or 140 MHz IF signal from a modulator to an RF frequency in the 6 GHz satellite band. The transmitter may be configured as gain block, or optimally as automatic level control or automatic gain control unit. On the receive side the LNBC downconverts the satellite downlink band to 1.4GHz and then RFT further downconverts it to 70 MHz band.

Voice Communication
Voice communication is done through telephone The voice signals goes to the EPABX through three E&M trunks to the E&M trunk card placed in the PEM slot of the EPABX. Then the call goes to the concerned personnel via extensions.

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