• Predictive Track

• Optrack

The type of support structure the SAA reflector is made of

• Steel

• Plastic

• Aluminum

• Wood

Allows the antenna to continuously Peak on the satellites Beacon with minimal drifting

• Scanning

• Locating

• Tracking

• Monitoring

Must be changed out to be able to operate to be able to operate in Ka-band

• Low Noise Amplifier(LNA)

• Modem

• High Powered Amplifier (HPA)

• Power Supply

Without tracking on antennas who would constantly have to check and adjust terminals to keep a nominal signal to noise ratio

• Engineers

• Technicians

• Operators

• Managers

An enhanced version of Optrack that uses initial azimuth elevation and polarization of the satellite and jogs the antenna to set position

• Geo Point
