Description
The NGC-004-02 or NGC-004-02- IDU Beacon Receiver option tracks L band beacons in the 930 to 2300MHz range. This beacon receiver can operate on satellites with modulated or non modulated L Band beacons, with downlink carrier frequency through Ka band with associated external BDC. This beacon receiver is designed to track the power density of a satellite beacon in real time using FPGA DSP. It provides information about the beacon level directly to the NGC tracking system, the IDU version also provides a DC output for controlling an uplink power control system.
