Model ASC 300L-D: Beacon Tracking Receivers (930 MHz - 2300 MHz)

Functional Description:

The Model ASC300L-D Beacon Tracking Receivers 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. 

For Tracking CW, Modulated Beacons and Carriers.
