- Description
- A beacon receiver forms part of the ACS and is designed to receive signals from a satellite and provide tracking inputs to the Antenna Control System. Antennas are used to transmit or receive electromagnetic signals, and the position of the antenna can have a significant effect on its performance. A beacon signal is transmitted by the in-orbit satellite. The satellite signal is received through the antennas feed and low-noise amplifier then is generally split to provide an output to the beacon receiver. The beacon receiver interprets the received signal to determine the position of the satellite. This position command reference signal is fed into the antenna control unit. The indoor antenna control unit compares the signals from the position command and position sensor and gets the position error signal which is compared with the threshold value. If the error exceeds the threshold value, the outdoor antenna controller will make the command for the motors to move the antenna towards the direction to minimise pointing error, this will result in the beacon signals increasing, and improve the quality of the transmitted/received data . Once the error is lower than the threshold value, the outdoor antenna controller will control the motor to maintain the antenna position, the antenna can track the satellite automatically without manual intervention.
