Tracking Accuracy

Typically better than 0.1dB RMS signal degradation after tracking for 24 hours (with tracking signal), for orbit

 

inclinations up to 10°

 

 

 

Prediction Accuracy

Typically better than 0.1dB RMS signal degradation over 72 hours (after loss of tracking signal), for orbit

 

inclinations up to 10°

 

 

 

Backup

Model data is stored in EEPROM and the real time clock supported by battery backup against power failure

Configuration Memory

Configuration data is stored in EEPROM

 

 

Tracking Signal

May be derived from an external tracking receiver or optionally from the integral IBR-L beacon receiver

External Tracking Signal

Voltage varying directly with received signal strength (in dB).

 

 

 

Sensitivity 0.1V / dB to 1.0V / dB

 

 

 

Offset + / - 10 volts max

 

 

 

 

Lost Lock input, contact closure when tracking signal is lost.

 

 

Display

2 line LCD display giving the areas of information:

 

 

 

Azimuth angle

Signal strength

 

Elevation angle

 

Diagnostics

Polarization angle

 

 

 

Mode of operation

Operational menus

 

 

Drive Outputs

36VDC, up to 8A for direct drive of DC actuator motors

 

 

Limit Switches

Limit switch inputs for elevation, azimuth and polarization. Contacts normally closed

Position Transducers

Inputs for standard resolver position transducers

 

 

OPTIONS

 

 

 

 

Internal IBR-L Beacon Receiver

 

 

 

 

 

This option accepts an L-Band signal, with an input level of -80 to -45dBm.

 

The signal voltage and lock lost indicators are generated internally. The need for an external beacon

 

receiver is eliminated.

 

 

Remote Control Terminal

IBM PC compatible software is available to provide a remote

control terminal function. The terminal

 

monitors and controls the INTRAC via the standard serial remote control port and provides facilities for

 

managing and storing multiple orbit models. Alarm information is still available at the front panel.

Polarisation Option

Option to accept a polarization position transducer and to drive a 36VDC polarization motor.
