CPI 500 Series Tracking Receiver

Overview

For over 50 years, CPI Antenna Technologies experienced engineering staff has been developing high-precision, economical satellite tracking and control systems. The Model 500 series of tracking receivers provides a high quality, cost effective solution as a beacon receiver for satellite tracking, spectrum display,
and Uplink Power Control (UPC) receiver source.

The Receiver is an integrated rack mounted (2RU) chassis that includes:
- Dual touch screen display system with intuitive user interface
- Embedded control and DSP processors
- Digital or analog receiver
- Up to 4 internal block down converters for any frequency band combination from L through Ka
- Ethernet, EIA-232/422 serial ports, and analog tracking signal output
- Internal L-Band test signal generator
The receiver effortlessly connects with CPI antenna control systems through standard Ethernet, while supporting third party systems through a configurable analog tracking output. A short depth (17” W x 15” D; 432 x 381 mm) 4RU no display chassis is also available.
This chassis provides the same performance while providing mounting behind large touch-screen ACUs.
