The Antenna Control System (PTS – 03) for mobile station is an intelligent and powerful antenna control system. This system is designed to track the VSAT antenna to the desired satellite.
The function of the system is to control the antenna’s movement in azimuth, elevation and polarization to track satellites through various functional modes. It continuously monitors and displays axis angles, beacon signal strength, the functional mode selected, and the universal time and it indicates errors like limits & interlocks.
The system offers various manual and auto-track modes for tracking purpose viz. standby Mode, manual mode, position track mode, POL position track, insat program track mode, acquire satellite mode and step track mode. It also enables the user to set the site related parameters through configuration option and add, delete and edit any number of satellites and advanced diagnostic features.
