Model ASC 300Ku1-E: Beacon Tracking Receiver (10.7 - 11.70 GHz)
(External Block Down Converter)

Functional Description:

The Model ASC300Ku1-E Beacon Tracking Receiver is a high performance unit that is designed to real time track the power density of a satellite beacon and output a DC voltage that is linearly proportional to the beacon power by utilizing a true, RMS-responding power detector. The ASC300Ku1-E will tune over Ku band satellites (10.7-11.70 GHz) by utilizing an external block down converter. The frequency band must be customer specified.
