Model ASC 300KuE-T Extended Tri-Band Beacon Tracking Receiver

 (10.7 to 12.75 GHz)

Functional Description:

The Model ASC300KuE-T 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 ASC300KuE-T Beacon Receiver will tune over the three primary Ku band satellites (10.7-11.70 GHz, 11.70 – 12.20 GHz, 12.25 – 12.75 GHz).
