Model ASC 300X: Beacon Tracking Receiver (7.25 - 7.75 GHz)
(Internal Block Down Converter)

Functional Description:

The Model ASC300X 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 ASC300X Beacon Receiver will tune over any X band satellites (7.25 - 7.75 GHz) by utilizing an internal block down converter.
