Profen PTA-700 XY Pedestal Tracking ESA
PROFEN’s PSA-700 XY pedestal earth station antenna (ESA) was specially designed for tracking LEO, MEO, and GEO spacecraft to use both daily operation and TT&C.
PROFEN’s PSA-700 XY pedestal earth station antenna (ESA) was specially designed for tracking LEO, MEO, and GEO spacecraft to use both daily operation and TT&C. The unique design of pedestal eliminates the problem of the overhead keyhole issue encountered in traditional three-axis AZ/EL mount antennas.
Even though the standard design comprises a Cassegrain type dish with FSS type sub-reflector to operate in S and X band, other types of configuration and frequency bands are available upon request as an option.
The pedestal comes with specially developed ACU system capable to operate in various satellite tracking modes including Step Track, TLE-based program track, Time & coordinate based program track and Mono pulse tracking.
The ACU comes with the Outdoor Drive Unit (ODU), which houses most of the pedestal electronics such as power supplies, servos and optionally the Indoor Control Unit (ICU), which has LEDs and Display to show and control various of operation of the pedestal. The ICU is normally located in a system room environment, but it can be supplied with an outdoor IP rated enclosure designed for all environmental conditions.
