Model ASC300LW
Beacon Receiver
1.0 Functional Description
The Model ASC300LW Beacon Receiver is a high performance unit that is
designed to real time track the power density of a satellite beacon and output a
DC voltage that is linearly proportional to the beacon power. The applications for
the ASC300LW are for antenna step track controlling and uplink power control
systems.
