Model ASC 300Ku2-I: Beacon Tracking Receiver (11.70 - 12.75 GHz)
(Internal Block Down Converter)

Functional Description:

The Model ASC300Ku2-I Beacon Tracking Receiver is a high performance self-contained unit that is designed to real time track the power density of a satellite beacon and output a DC voltage that is linearly proportional to the beacon power by utilizing a true, RMS-responding power detector. The ASC300Ku2-I will tune over Ku band satellites 11.70-12.75 GHz by utilizing an internal block down converter. The frequency band must be customer specified.
