Functional Description

The Model ASC300Ku2-I Beacon Tracking Receiver is a high performance self-contained 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 ASC300Ku2-I will tune over Ku band satellites 11.70-12.75 GHz by utilizing an internal block down converter. The frequency band must be customer specified.

	Antenna Tracking Controllers
	Uplink Power Controllers

* CDS Continuous Digital Streaming

The streaming option associated with the ASC300 series beacon tracking receiver provides a continuous, two byte, data stream running at 9600 baud that contains ten bits of signal strength level indication as well as lock or alarm condition of the unit. A female DB9,  interface connector on the rear of the unit is specifically dedicated for this option.
