Beacon Receivers
BR-MOD-1-9-B-1S-3040
The BR-MOD-1-9-B is a satellite beacon receiver designed on a completely new platform to meet today’s system challenges. This robust product features many capabilities to provide rugged and reliable operation in embedded applications.
A CW satellite beacon carrier can be acquired quickly and tracked in On-the-Move, as well as in fixed-site applications. The receiver can lock on and track BPSK-type carrier signals and is uniquely capable of locking on and tracking DVB-like carriers utilizing an exclusive Avcom-only Carrier- Edge- Power-Tracking (CEPT) function. In addition, it provides a voltage output from 0 to 10 VDC proportional with the input signal.
A unique feature of this beacon receiver is that when the beacon receiver function is not in use it can be used as a full-function spectrum analyzer. This allows systems to track on a beacon and monitor a carrier without the need for a separate device.
The beacon receiver can be connected via ethernet, USB, or serial, and supports communication with a WEB-GUI, POSIX-C API, text-based API, and Avcom’ s EVO GUI. This wide range of options makes the unit ideal for interfacing with large complex MCC systems or simple microprocessor- based systems.
