AXYOM Model 50 3.6 - 6.1m L-, S-, X-, Ka-Band

3-Axis, Bias Drive Zero Backlash, X-Y/AZ Autotrack Antenna

Precise, full-hemispherical tracking is the critical first step in communicating with LEO satellites. Yet, most existing designs fall short in one or more significant aspects. To overcome this, SeaSpace analyzed a multitude of conventional and unconventional designs and made an innovative leap to deliver high tracking accuracy. The result was our AXYOM Model 50: X-Y over Azimuth Optimized Motion Antenna.

Features       Benefits Reflector antennas ranging in size from 3.6 -6.1 meters in diameter, parabolic and dual-shaped Autotrack feeds supporting single or multiple frequencies at L-, S-, X,- and Ka-Band Supports tracking of LEO satellites for remote sensing, scientific, communications and TT&C applications. 3-Axis, X-Y over Azimuth geometry which operates in multiple geometry modes True full hemispherical coverage – no keyholes above 0° elevation Bias drives provide zero backlash High torsional stiffness, compliance and resonant frequency Very high pointing precision and accuracy Low LRU count, easy access to all LRUs Motor & drive redundancy Interchangeable drive units for all axes “Intelligent Drive” technology Enclosed in high-performance radomes Minimized MTTR, maintenance & life cycle costs High reliability and availability High level of remote fault detection/fault isolation (FD/FI) Absolutely minimized requirements for tracking velocities and accelerations Minimal maintenance requirements Maximized MTBF and longevity
