The system comprises an Antenna Control Unit (ACU), Tracking Receiver Unit (TRU) and a Power Drive Unit (PDU) which are linked via dedicated Ethernet connections. This provides flexibility in locating the key system components, allows for variable separation distances and provides immunity to electrical ground plane transients.

Key Features:

• Tracking, Pointing, and Acquisition modes

• Single or multiple drives per axis, multiple axes

• AZ/EL, X-Y, HA/Dec, and AZ/EL/Tilt pedestals

• GEO, LEO, TT&C, RADAR, or Celestial applications

• Single or Multi-Band operation

• Wide dynamic range and fine control resolution
