BR-MOD-1-9-B-1S


The BR-MOD-1-9-B is a 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 applications.

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 signal. In addition, 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.

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 M&C systems or simple microprocessor-based systems.
