Satellite Systems Corp. 3430-L L-Band Beacon Tracking Receiver
Input Frequency 930 to 2300 MHz, Input Level -40 to -100 dBm typical, Level Adjust Digital, 0.5 dB steps
3430-L Beacon Tracking Receiver
The Model 3430-L Version 4 is the latest release of our reliable series of 3430 Beacon Receivers. The Model 3430-L features an input of 930 - 2300 MHz, Digital Level reference setting, Ethernet connectivity with M&C control interface, and power up temperature compensation for rapid signal acquisition. Frequency selection on 10 kHz steps may be accomplished from the front panel or via remote control. Pre‑detection noise bandwidth of 50 kHz (or factory option of 25 kHz) facilitates accurate tracking at very low C/N levels.
The output of the Beacon Receiver is a DC voltage proportional to the input signal level to facilitate both antenna tracking control and automatic power control. A Loss of Carrier indicator is provided in the event the tracking signal is lost. Form "C" relay contacts provide an external Loss of Carrier Alarm. A front panel VFD or SSC GUI (via your computer) displays operating frequency, relative signal level, carrier lock or alarm, and input level.
