A Beacon Receiver for Step Track Antennas and Uplink Power Control
The Model 3400-L Version 1Q01 is the latest release of our reliable series of 3400 Beacon Receivers. With Version 1Q01 firmware we now offer the full L-band range of 930 to 2300 connectivity with M&C control interface, and
MHz, Digital level reference setting, ethernet power up temperature compensation for rapid signal acquisition. Frequency selection on 1 kHz steps may be accomplished from the front panel or via remote control. Pre-detection noise
bandwidth of 50 kHz (or factory option of 25 kHz) facilitates accurate tracking at very low C/N levels.

• Digital level reference setting, -40 to -100 dBm in 0.5 dB steps
•  Ethernet connectivity with M&C control interface (serial over ethernet)
•  RS-232/422/485 and Ethernet all Standard
•  Temperature stabilization compensation

The output of the Beacon Receiver is a DC voltage proportional to the input signal level to be used for both antenna tracking control and automatic uplink power control. A loss-of-carrier indicator is provided in the event the tracking
signal is lost. Form “C” relay contacts provide an external loss-of-carrier alarm. A front panel LCD or SSC GUI (via your computer) displays operating frequency, relative signal level, carrier lock or alarm, and input level.

Features & Options
Enhanced control features and additional monitoring tools are included along with strip charting for signal strength, AFC, and temperature.
Version 2.0 also includes a new event-triggered alarm feature that allows for email notification to your laptop or cell phone. Alarms are triggered via signal strength, loss of signal, and AFC conditions.
