1 SCOPE
1.1 Identification
This specification establishes the performance, design, development and test requirements for the single pixel feed band 2 feed package, item number 317-020000 that forms part of the SPF sub-element of the SKA MID dishes.
It refines the relevant higher level requirements from [AD1], as allocated in [AD2].
This document has been prepared as follows:
Template and requirements formatting: T. Steyn
Requirements refinement: L. Marais
Verification of content: I.P. Theron
1.2 Intended Use of This Document
The intended audience for this document is:
a. SKA dish consortium system engineering personnel involved with the establishment and approval of this development specification.
b. Engineering personnel involved in the development of the SPF band 2 feed package.
1.3 System Description
1.3.1 System Overview
The single pixel feed (SPF) band 2 feed package collects both orthogonal components of the electromagnetic (EM) radiation concentrated at the focus of the reflector system and transforms them into electrical signals. The band 2 feed package covers the 0.95 GHz to 1.76 GHz frequency band. It includes cooling / thermal stabilisation as required to achieve the specified low noise amplifier (LNA) noise performance and stability of the injected calibration noise. The feed package is covered by a protective enclosure and mounted to the indexer via a mounting frame.
A Gifford McMahon cryogenic-cooler is employed that requires a high pressure helium supply and return to function. The helium will be supplied by the SPF helium service. The cryogenic components inside the cryostat are thermally insulated by high vacuum. A vacuum pump will be installed on each dish to provide the SPF vacuum service.
The feed package will be controlled by the feed package controller (FPC) which will communicate with the SPF controller (SPFC) using a slow serial communication over fibre connection.
1.3.2 System Components
The SPF band 2 has four major components that are deliverable and line replaceable units (LRU) as follows:
Mounting mechanics This component facilitates the accurate mounting of the horn assembly of the feed to the dish indexer.

SKA-TEL-DSH-0000083 1 2016-11-30
Author: Jean Kotzé, et al. Page 8 of 35
Horn assembly The feed horn is responsible to illuminate the optics – it receives the signal and propagates it in waveguide to the cryostat and control assembly. The feed horn is attached to the mounting mechanics and the cryostat and control assembly attaches to the feed horn.
Cryostat and control assembly The cryostat part of this assembly houses the cooled parts of the signal chain. It converts the waveguide input signal to amplified signal in coaxial cables that connect in two polarizations to the receiver. The control part contains the power supply module and is responsible for all the control and monitoring interaction with the SPFC.
Environment shield The environment shield protects the cryostat and control assembly from direct sunlight and rain. It is not designed to provide total shielding from the environment.
For design purposes documents are grouped according to the following major functions and utilises the applicable SPF band 2 major components in order to meet this function:
Signal path functional group (mounting, horn assembly and cryostat and control assembly)
Cryogenic functional group (cryostat and control assembly)
Control functional group (cryostat and Control assembly)
Allocations of the SPF band 2 requirements to the appropriate functional group is done in the SPF band 2 design document. By implication the requirements are allocated to the components that forms part of each of the four LRUs. Noteworthy is that a function such as the signal path extends through multiple major components i.e. horn assembly and OMT waveguide assembly converts the EM signals to an electrical RF signal.
1.3.3 Context and Product Breakdown Structure
The physical hierarchy diagram of the next higher level assembly of the SPF band 2 feed package is shown in Figure 1.
