Applications
FM data detectors were standard components in C-band and Ku-band satellite earth stations during the 1980s and 1990s. This unit supported Westar and Palapa satellite network operations for telemetry demodulation and signal conditioning. Used in teleport facilities and ground terminals for real-time monitoring of satellite link parameters and carrier quality indicators.
This Hughes 3582710-100 Westar Palapa FM Data Detector has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition overall, with the following noted deficiencies: the top and bottom sheet-metal covers are missing, leaving the internal PCB and components exposed. The front panel and chassis frame are intact and show normal age-related wear consistent with ground station service. The rear connectors (J1 BNC, J2 D-Sub, J3 BNC) appear clean and undamaged. The included AC power cable has visible jacket damage with the inner conductors partially exposed near the middle of the cord — this cable should be replaced before the unit is powered. No other damage is apparent from inspection. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
