The 3430-L from Skybrokers BV is a Satellite Beacon Receiver designed to meet provide a linear DC reference voltage proportional to the received signal level of a satellite beacon or narrow-band SCPC carrier. It has an input frequency range of 950-1800 MHz and a frequency selection of 10 kHz steps. This beacon receiver has a tracking slope of 0.5 V/dB and tracking linearity of 0.25 dB. It has a beacon input level range of -30 to -90 dBm and a minimum lock input level of -110 dBm. The beacon receiver supports the remote control options that include RS232/RS485 with a F-type female input and has a pre-detection noise bandwidth of 50 kHz that facilitates accurate tracking at very low C/N levels. It requires an AC voltage supply of 90-260 V and a power consumption of 45 W. The beacon receiver is ideal for antenna step tracking and automatic uplink power control.
