Tracking Receiver Option (with Spectrum Display)
The 830A has an optional internal L-Band receiver. L-Band operational frequency range is 950 - 2150 MHz and the minimum tracking C/No is 45 dB-Hz.
Antenna Pointing Accuracy
Better than 0.07° RMS in winds of 30 mph gusting to 45 mph. This includes normal drive train errors, but excludes structural errors between the transducers and RF beam.
Enhanced Memory Track
Typically better than 10% of the receive beamwidth with satellite inclinations up to 5°. A variety of operational modes are available for quick target acquisition, pointing and tracking.
