CPI 950E Antenna Control System

System

The CPI Antenna Technologies’ Model 950E, Control System is comprised of an Antenna Control Unit (ACU), Tracking Receiver Unit (TRU) and a Power Drive Unit (PDU) which are linked via dedicated Ethernet connections. This configuration provides flexibility in locating the key system components, allows for variable separation distances, and provides immunity to electrical ground plane transients.

The Model 950E is Intelsat Standard A Compliant for great tracking performance, offers extensive modes for pointing, acquisition and tracking and its software is field-upgradable via a simple USB or remote interface. In addition, the Model 950E is CE compliant for EU applications and features a touch-screen, large angle color display for modern user interfaces.

Tracking Accuracy

Optrack- Normally better than 5% of the receive beamwidth in winds of 30 mph gusting to 45 mph, satellite inclination of up to 15º and signal scintillation of up to 2 dB.

Pointing Accuracy

Normally better than 0.05º RMS in winds of 30 mph gusting to 45 mph. This includes all drive train errors, but excludes structural errors between the position transducers and RF beam.
