Controllers

Single Axis Tracking Antenna Controller - RC1500

The RC1500 is a single axis inclined orbit satellite tracking antenna controller which is designed to interface to antennas powered by 36 volt DC actuators with built-in limit switches and pulse type position sensors.  If the beam width of the antenna is much greater than the width of the pattern of the satellite’s apparent motion single axis tracking of inclined orbit satellites can be successfully implemented.  The RC1500 can either be used in conjunction with a steerable antenna whose plane of movement is aligned with the long dimension of the narrow figure eight pattern of the satellite’s apparent motion or with fixed antennas which employ a steerable feed assembly.  The RC1500 offers the following features:

• An intuitive user interface based on a 2 by 16 liquid crystal display and a 16 key keypad.

• Interfaces with pulse based position sensors - reed switch, Hall effect, or optical.

• Servo based polarization control. An optional daughter board, designated RC2KPOL, can interface with a 5 to 24

  volt DC powered rotating equipped with a potentiometer for position feedback.

• Serial communications via an RS-422 port. The RC1500 uses the industry standard SA Bus protocol.

  Rack Mounting (2 rack units high), 115/230 VAC Switch Selectable Power Input

Dual Axis Antenna Controller - RC2000A

RC2000A antenna controller is designed to interface with dual axis satellite antennas which employ pulse type position sensors.

Filters

ZF120 5G C-Band Filter for Simulsat & Parabolic Antennas

AZF120-5G C-Band Filter is carefully designed to strongly reject out-of-band interference (above 4200 MHz and below 3820 MHz) with minimum insertion loss.
This interference is responsible for distorting both digital and analog signals.

Non-penetrating Mount Antenna Supports, Controllers, Receivers and Splitters.

Motorized 4 Port Feed
ATCi is pleased to introduce the Motorized Version of ATCi’s 4 Port Feed originally designed for the Simulsat Multibeam Series of Antennas.  Now, the same quality and performance is availale for parabolic antennas.  The Motorized 4-Port Feed operates over the entire “extended” C-band frequency range from 3.4 to 4.2 GHz, and also operates over the entire commercial Ku-band frequency range of 10.95 to 12.75 GHz.  The feed accommodates bandpass filters to provide the utmost in secure operation.  There are no products on the market today that can match the performance and economy of the ATCi Motorized 4 Port Feed.
