Monitoring & Control Systems

 

Antenna control unit - ACU -

Product based on our CORTEX Series, the antenna control unit (ACU) controls limited motion or full motion antennas. It operates in positioning, rate, target designation, NORAD ephemeris and scan modes.

 

Main benefits :

Auto-track and step-track for GEO and LEO satellites, or other targets

Wide range of configuration parameters and status

Cost effective, high level of integration

Possible combination with the CORTEX series : with a digital tracking receiver (DTR) to have a command and control system for autotrack operation.

 

Advantages:

Easy connection to the antenna through the SCU electronics providing multiple I/O

No tuning

No preventive maintenance

Sliding keyboard

Floppy / CD drivers

Low dimensions (4U)
