RCI RC1500 Auto Tracking Remote Satellite Antenna Controller System
Integrated POL control, Serial comm. Remote Interface
RC1500 VSAT Control System
The Research Concepts RC1500 is a single axis inclined orbit remote satellite tracking antenna controller which is designed to interface to antennas powered by 36 volt DC actuators with built-in limit switches and pulse type position sensors. If the beam width of the antenna is much greater than the width of the pattern of the satellite’s apparent motion single axis tracking of inclined orbit satellites can be successfully implemented.
The RCI RC1500 can either be used in conjunction with a steerable antenna whose plane of movement is aligned with the long dimension of the narrow figure eight pattern of the satellite’s apparent motion or with fixed antennas which employ a steerable feed assembly.
