IMATE (Integrated Multiple Antenna Terminal Electronics)
The IMATE package is unique in that
it extends the capability of many
legacy and new antenna subsystems
to operate as standalone terminals.
The IMATE will allow antenna subsystems
to be transformed into
complete single or multi-band
operating SATCOM terminals.
Some of the antennas the IMATE
can be integrated with include the
3.9M Lightweight Medium Aperture
Antenna (LMAA), AN/TSC-179(C)
2.4M High Wind Antenna (HWA),
60A 2.4M Antenna, LAMDA,
LXGHA and QRSA. The IMATE also
provides auto-acquisition, antenna
tracking, RF power control and CMA
functionality (available as an option)
to any antenna it interfaces with.
IMATE options include a variety of
FDMA and TDMA modems,
STRATUM-1 frequency reference
and test translator. In addition, the
IMATE can function as a temporary
restoral step site when integrated
with a failed system, offering
continued operating capabilities,
until repairs are completed.

KA Band Upgrade

L-3 Communications Narda Satellite
Networks (L-3 NSN), in anticipation of a
successful launch of the Wideband
Global SATCOM (WGS) satellite, is
offering a Ka-Band Upgrade to the
AN/USC-60A (FTSAT) therewith
keeping the 250 plus fielded 60As
updated through technology insertion.
The Ka-Band Upgrade System (Model
1.2 Ka-60A) is intended primarily for the
AN/USC-60A; potentially it can be
integrated with other Multi-Band
SHF-SATCOM systems, as well. The
Ka-Band Upgrade will not effect the
integrity of the FTSAT or degrade the
operational performance and proven
reliability. This upgrade will enhance
the capabilities of the AN/USC-60A
significantly.
The 1.2 Ka-60A, when integrated with
the base system, (60A) will meet
the latest WGS — Ka-Band Terminal
Certifications Requirements (Version
2.0 dated 14 March 2006), MIL-STD-
188-164A and ARSTRAT certification
requirements.
The 1.2 Ka-60A consists of a 1.2-meter
segmented carbon fiber reflector,
adapter plate, linearized 175 Watt
TWTA with built-in BUC and LNB.
The 1.2-meter reflector mounts directly
to the pedestal AZ/EL head assembly
using an adapter plate, and does not
prevent reverting back to the 2.4-meter
reflector for Tri-Band operations.
Setup and disassembly of the Ka-Band
terminal is less than one hour for two
trained personnel.
