ABSTRACT:
A very small aperture terminal (VSAT) transceiver of a VSAT terminal has a ceramic substrate board with transmitter, receiver and local oscillator circuits, including microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) chips positioned on the ceramic substrate board. A microcontroller is operative with the MMIC chips and an indoor unit of the VSAT terminal for controlling transceiver gain and output power. The microcontroller monitors one or both of the received signal strength of a signal received from a satellite in communication therewith and the signal-to-noise information from the indoor unit. The transceiver gain and output power is controlled by the microcontroller based on the received signal strength and/or the signal-to-noise information from the indoor unit.
