CPI SAT Model 550A Digital Tracking Receiver with Spectrum Display
Economical satellite tracking, Internal Tracking Receiver (Analog, Digital) with Spectrum Analyzer, Ideal for flyaway and mobile VSAT antennas
550A Digital Tracking Receiver
The CPI 550A digital tracking receiver provides a high quality, cost effective solution as a beacon receiver for satellite tracking, spectrum display, and uplink power control (UPC) receiver source.
The Receiver is an integrated rack mounted (2RU) chassis that includes:
- Touch screen display system with intuitive user interface
- Embedded control and DSP processors
- Digital or analog receiver
- Up to 4 internal block down converters for any frequency band combination from L through Ka
- 100MB Ethernet and EIA-422 serial ports
- Internal L-Band test signal generator
The 550A RF front end is a three stage conversion system for enhanced sensitivity and selectivity. The analog to digital converter (ADC) inputs are digitized at 16 MHz and are transferred to a 500 MHz, 32-bit Digital Signal Processor for real-time analysis. A short depth (17” W x 15” D; 432 x 381 mm) 4RU no display chassis is also available. This chassis provides the same performance while providing mounting behind large touch-screen ACUs.
