Question

Difficulty: MediumQuantitative Detail Extraction

Based on the technical passage below, complete the summary sentence by providing the exact numerical values described.

During tactical field operations, communications units utilize the AN/PRC-117G radio system to maintain secure networks. Under standard line-of-sight transmission, the transceiver operates at 20 watts of power to provide an effective ground range of 15 miles. When configured for dedicated satellite communications (SATCOM), the system increases its power consumption to 50 watts and requires a minimum antenna elevation of 32 degrees above the horizon to maintain connection.

According to the passage, what are the power requirements and elevation parameters for SATCOM configuration?

Answer:When configured for satellite communications, the transceiver consumes 【50 watts】 of power and requires an antenna elevation of at least 【32 degrees】.

Answer

blank_1: 50 watts; blank_2: 32 degrees
The passage explicitly states that when configured for dedicated satellite communications (SATCOM), the system draws 50 watts of power and requires a minimum antenna elevation of 32 degrees above the horizon.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the specific operational mode in the text.
The target context is dedicated satellite communications (SATCOM), not standard line-of-sight transmission.
The summary sentence specifically requests the parameters under the SATCOM configuration.
2
Extract the corresponding quantitative values for power and elevation angle from the SATCOM sentence.
Power consumption is 50 watts and minimum antenna elevation is 32 degrees.
The passage explicitly pairs 50 watts and 32 degrees with SATCOM mode, differentiating them from the 20 watts and 15 miles associated with line-of-sight mode.

Key Concept

Quantitative detail extraction requires identifying the specific condition specified in the summary and retrieving the precise numeric values and units associated with that condition.
