Specifications & What's Included

  • Model: 3878526-100 (Rev B)
  • RF Output: 70 MHz via BNC connectors (A/B selectable)
  • Power: 240V AC, 2A
  • Dual PCM telemetry inputs (NRZ-L, Clock, BI-Phase)
  • Command interface with tone input and execute output
  • Real-time spin sync, sun, composite, and nutation inputs
  • RS-232 computer interface (DB-25)
  • CRT/LCD front panel display with status readout
  • Rackmount enclosure

Applications

Satellite simulators provide ground-based RF and telemetry signal generation for testing satellite command systems, receiver chains, and mission operations centers. The AUSSAT HS-601 simulator was used in Australian communications satellite operations and integration testing. This equipment supports development and validation of satellite ground stations and command processing systems.

Condition: For Parts or Not Working
This Hughes Aircraft 3878526-100 AUSSAT HS-601 Satellite Simulator is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. The front panel display notes that the 70 MHz output level is fixed and the attenuator is inoperative, and the unit has not been tested or verified functional at our facility. The screen also has a crack in one corner that is not captured in the photo set. No functionality is guaranteed.
