CPI SAT Model 990 Full Motion Antenna Controller System

990 Series Full Motion ACU

The CPI SAT (formerly GD Satcom Technologies & Prodelin) The 990 Series offers full DC Servo Performance for antenna configurations that utilize dual drive motors for both azimuth and elevation axes.  This ACU can be used with almost any full motion antenna for precision satellite, spacecraft, or celestial tracking applications. Please contact us today for more info along with pricing and installation options.

Tracking Receiver

System

The system comprises an 990 Antenna Control Unit (ACU), Tracking Receiver Unit (TRU) and a Power Drive Unit (PDU) which are linked via dedicated Ethernet connections. This provides flexibility in locating the key system components, allows for variable separation distances and provides immunity to electrical ground plane transients.

Tracking Accuracy - Optrack

Normally better than 5% of the receive beamwidth in winds of 30 mph gusting to 45 mph, satellite inclination of up to 15º and signal scintillation of up to 2 dB.

Pointing Accuracy

Normally better than 0.05º RMS in winds of 30 mph gusting to 45 mph. This includes all drive train errors, but excludes structural errors between the position
transducers and RF beam.
