CPI Antenna Control System Model 940A

Overview

For over 50 years, CPI Antenna Technologies' experienced engineering staff has been developing high-precision, economical satellite tracking and control systems. As the world’s leading manufacturer of satellite and ground based products and services, our systems are designed using cutting edge technology. Our control systems can be used with almost any antenna and support a wide range of applications. The systems feature an easy-to-use, modern ethernet interface, and are software upgradeable to protect your investment. All control systems come with an end-to-end warranty and are supported 24/7/365 days a year by our technical customer support team.

System

Our Model 940A, offers excellent satellite tracking and control. It is ideally suited for fixed antennas with single AC motor per axis and includes an Antenna Control Unit (ACU), Internal Tracking Receiver (TRU) and a Power Drive Unit (PDU). The Model 940A is the replacement for our long-standing Model 7200 Antenna Controller, is backwards compatible with our reliable Model 7150 Power Drive Units, and therefore supports inexpensive upgrades.

Tracking Accuracy-Optrack

Normally better than 5% of the receive beamwidth in winds of 30 mph gusting to 45 mph, satellite inclination of up to 15º and signal scintillation up to 2 dB.

Pointing Accuracy
Normally better than 0.05º RMS in winds of 30 mph gusting to 45 mph. This includes all drive train errors, but excludes structural errors between the position transducers and RF beam.
