PRODUCT DATASHEET
BR-MOD-1-9-A-2S-3040
The BR-MOD-1-9-A-2S (Dual Input) is a full SDR satellite beacon receiver designed on a completely new platform to meet today’s system challenges. It is a robust and reliable product featuring many capabilities to provide rugged and reliable operation in embedded application. A CW satellite beacon carrier can be acquired quickly
and tracked in On-the-Move, as well as in fixed-site applications. It provides a voltage output from 0 to 10 VDC proportional with the input L-band signal. In addition, the receiver can lock on and track BPSK-type carrier signals AND is uniquely capable of locking on and tracking a DVB- like carriers utilizing an exclusive Avcom-only Carrier- EdgePower-Tracking (CEPT) function. Avcom’s EVO-GUI software is included and provides a full- featured set of tools for robust operations for any application. Avcom provides API protocol documentation and support for developing POSIX-C compliant APIs for your application. Please contact salesrfq@avcomofva.com for documentation and support.
