Tracking Receiver
System
The system comprises an 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.
ACU and Outdoor Power Drive Unit (PDU) System Configuration
970 ACU Features
Optrack, which provides high performance tracking of stable or inclined orbit satellites with an adaptive, self-learning ephemeris modeling mode Easy touch screen operation Informative display with full text color readouts Extensive diagnostic monitoring and test capabilities Antenna and satellite simulators Supervisory Control Link (Ethernet; TCP/IP or RS-232/422)
The 970 Series Controller can be used with almost any full motion antenna for precision satellite, spacecraft, or celestial tracking applications
