Pointing & Tracking
- Position control to within 0.0005 degrees RMS error
- Steptrack accuracy to within 10% RMS of -3dB beamwidth
- Predictive Track accuracy to within 5% RMS of -3dB beamwidth
- Monopulse tracking to within 3% RMS of -3dB beamwidth
Operating Modes
- Step Track
Tracking algorithm performing periodic and or level triggered scans to peak up signal strength (requires beacon receiver). - Predictive Track
Points the satellite dish using an orbital model created from previous AZ and EL step-track data (requires beacon receiver). - Monopulse
Automatically acquires target, peak phase align and calibrate to begin tracking with monopulse tracking receiver. Transfers to predictive model or ephemeris tracking on loss of monopulse signal. - TLE (Two-Line Element)
Model based pointing derived from NORAD two-line element sets. - IESS-412 ( Intelsat 11)
Automated pointing of AZ and EL axes based on look angles derived from IESS-412 parameters. - TLE + Step Track
Pointing algorithm based on TLE parameters with the addition of a velocity based step-track to provide the most accurate pointing possible from TLE data (requires beacon receiver). - IESS-412 + Step Track
IESS-412 pointing algorithm with the addition of a velocity based step-track to provide accurate pointing (requires beacon receiver). - Manual
Variable speed jog control for AZ and EL axes from ACP GUI. - Move to Look Angles
Position to user-provided AZ, EL and Pol angles. - Move to Longitude
Position to AZ and EL angles determined from the longitudinal orbital slot.
