RC1500B Satellite Antenna Control System
Research Concepts RCI RC1500B 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. RCI RC1500B 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.
