The PFA-240-X/Y Deployable X/Y Leo Tracking Antenna pedestal technology is designed specifically for short-term and permanent LEO satellite tracking applications requiring rapid deployment. Designed around our tried-and-true X/Y technology precision antenna systems, this solution can be transported on a commercial airline and set up in a very brief amount of time without the need for any special equipment.
The antenna's operation modes include standby, manual control, pointing, program tracking, auto tracking, and memory tracking.
Dual GPS allows far precise direction finding and positioning. Utilising the high-precision resolver enables automatic calculation of altitude data, angle data, and coordinate conversion. Programmatically directing the antenna to the target with precision and accuracy enables precise tracking.
The antenna system's power supply is a wide-range AC 220v, and the power supply mode can be tailored according customers' specifications.
- L, S, X, Ku and Ka-Band versions are available
- Motorized and manual control modes for the convenient for emergency operation in various environments
- Provides high-speed and automatic tracking for GEO, LEO, MEO satellites and UAVs
- Portable, Compact, Light-Weight, Rugged Construction
- Satellite position storage and modification function for the satellite position parameters of at least 10 satellites
- High Reliability and Accuracy
- High Torque and Zero-Backlash
- Fast Slew Rates
