Pointing & Tracking

• Position control to within 0.0005 degrees RMS error
• Steptrack accuracy to within 10% RMS of -3dB beamwidth 
• Predictive Track accuracy to within 5% RMS of -3dB beamwidth 
• Monopulse tracking to within 3% RMS of -3dB beamwidth 

• Step Track: Tracking algorithm performing periodic and or level triggered scans to peak up signal strength (requires beacon receiver).
• Predictive Track: Points the satellite dish using an orbital model created from previous AZ and EL step-track data (requires beacon receiver). 
• Monopulse: Automatically acquires target, peak phase align and calibrate to begin tracking with monopulse tracking receiver. Transfers to predictive model or ephemeris tracking on loss of monopulse signal.
• TLE (Two-Line Element): Model based pointing derived from NORAD two-line element sets.
• IESS-412 ( Intelsat 11): Automated pointing of AZ and EL axes based on look angles derived from IESS-412 parameters.
• TLE + Step Track: Pointing algorithm based on TLE parameters with the addition of a velocity based step-track to provide the most accurate pointing possible from TLE data (requires beacon receiver).
• IESS-412 + Step Track: IESS-412 pointing algorithm with the addition of a velocity based step-track to provide accurate pointing (requires beacon receiver).
• Manual: Variable speed jog control for AZ and EL axes from ACP GUI.
• Move to Look Angles: Position to user-provided AZ, EL and Pol angles.
• Move to Longitude: Position to AZ and EL angles determined from the longitudinal orbital slot.
