SPECIFICATION & OPTIONS

INTRAC-305

SPECIFICATION

 

Tracking Accuracy

Typically <0.1dB RMS signal degradation after tracking for

 

30minutes (with tracking signal).

Prediction Accuracy

Typically <0.1dB RMS signal degradation over 72hrs (after

 

loss of tracking signal).

Tracking Signal

May be derived from an external tracking receiver or from the

 

(optional) Integral Beacon Receiver (IBR-L).

External

DC voltage varying directly with received signal strength

 

(in dB). Scale factors between 0.1V/dB and 1.0V/dB can be

 

preset with up to ± 10V offset.

Internal

Internal IBR-L requires an L-band signal with a level in the

 

range -80dBm to -45dBm and C/No >40dB. Stability better

 

than ± 150KHz. The received frequency is selected from the

 

INTRAC front panel.

 

The signal voltage and lock lost indicators are generated

 

internally.

Antenna Position Encoders

Single resolver units. Operating frequency is 800Hz nominal.

Az & El

The INTRAC-305 is designed to operate directly with

 

standard Andrew resolvers. Antennas used with the APC300

 

controller, for which the INTRAC-305 is a replacement, are

 

normally fitted with x2 resolvers. The part numbers of the two

 

(alternative manufacturers) 2x resolvers known to have been

 

used by Andrew are:

 

Harowe 11BRCX-310-M-85V

 

Clifton 11-BHM-19F/F776

 

The INTRAC-305 can be configured (by the user in “Fitted

 

Options”) to operate with the lower resolution (x1) resolver

 

that may be fitted to antennas intended for APC100 control.

 

The part numbers of the two (alternative manufacturers) 1x

 

resolvers known to have been used by Andrew are:

 

Harrowe 11_BRCX-310-R-85V

 

Clifton 11-BHW-46TK/F561 or F817

Pol

The standard version of the INTRAC-305 is firmware

 

configured for x1 resolvers. Firmware to enable the use of a

 

x2 resolver for can be provided on request.
