Models 3430-KuB Ku-Band Beacon Tracking Receivers Version 4
A tracking receiver for antenna step tracking and automatic uplink power control

The Model 3430-KuB Version 4 is the latest release of our reliable series of 3430 Beacon Receivers. The Model 3430-KuB features an input of 12.25 - 12.75 GHz, Digital Level reference setting, Ethernet connectivity with M&C control interface, and power up temperature compensation for rapid signal acquisition. Frequency selection on 10 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.

1. Digital level reference setting, -40 to -100 dBm on 0.5 dB steps
2. Ethernet connectivity with M&C control interface
3. NEW Version 2.0 M&C control interface allows for remote monitoring from one or multiple locations
4. RS-232/422/485 and Ethernet All Standard
5. Temperature stabilization compensation.

The output of the Beacon Receiver is a DC voltage proportional to the input signal level to facilitate both antenna tracking control and automatic 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 VFD or SSC GUI (via your computer) displays operating frequency, relative signal level, carrier lock or alarm, and input level.

Satellite Systems announces the new control GUI version 2.0 for our Beacon Receiver Product line. 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.
