Orbital Systems 3.0AEBP-3.7m antenna positioner is designed and built to provide high reliability while withstanding severe environmental conditions. The high-quality, high-precision elevation-over-azimuth satellite tracking system is suitable for operation at X- band and below. Utilizes the proven orbital data bus (ODB) technology providing integrated control of the antenna positioner and RF payload. Superior engineering, precision manufacturing and strict quality control standards result in maintenance free operation making the 3.0AEBP-3.7m the optimal choice for service in remote locations and hostile climates.
Features
Standard equipment includes positioner, feed mounting poles, ACU-2 antenna control unit and a complete maintenance tool kit. The positioner also provides standard options for AC or DC power and 100BASE-T Ethernet on the elevation arm. Gold-on-gold contact slip rings facilitate unlimited azimuth rotation and operates on one or two RF channels. Optional reflector sizes are available with the 3.0AEBP antenna positioner. Reception loss caused by what is sometimes called a “keyhole effect” is eliminated by the high speed of azimuth rotation in Orbital’s two axis products. When tracking a near overhead pass the antenna uses a predictive motion with a peak azimuth velocity of 60 degrees/sec, and acceleration at up to 60 degrees/sec². These very high speeds serve to reduce loss of signals on a worst case near overhead pass.
System Control and Tracking
- ACU-2 antenna control unit is standard and enables flexible control options
- Tracks satellites at X- Band and below
- Customized controller interface options are available
Motors and Gears
- Mechanical system components are fully integrated with IP65-rated brushless servomotors and integrated brakes, matched and tuned motor drives, and heavy duty gears
- Gears are automatically heated to maintain optimal performance at temperatures as low as -40°C
- Gears are completely enclosed in a cast housing and operate inside a controlled, optimal environment to increase service life with no annual lubrication required
Pressurization
- Antenna positioner and feed are pressurized with dehydrated air to prevent corrosion of system components
- Dry air is supplied using conventional transmission line dehydrator technology
- Temperature and humidity sensors in the electrical cabinet and feed are monitored by the antenna control unit, which automatically purges the system of moisture
- System remains operational if pressurization fails
Reflectors and Feeds
- Supplied with a 3.7m spun aluminum reflector
- Equipped with feed poles for use with Orbital Systems feeds
- Many feeds are available with optional downconverters and polarity switching
- Feeds are equipped with purge valves to expel moisture
- Feed communication is integrated into the antenna control unit over ODB
Special Order Options
- Mains A/C power supplied internally through the antenna positioner for elevation arm-mounted electronics
- Gigabyte Ethernet delivered internally through the antenna positioner
- Additional RF channels through antenna positioner
- Additional data pairs run through the antenna positioner
- Optical multi mode fiber through antenna positioner
