RF over Fiber Link TX/RX
L-Band
-
QuestTel's Satellite L-Band optical fiber Transmitter/Receiver set offers high pefromance and cost effective alternative to conventional coaxial systems. The L-Band Transmitter and Receiver pair is used for transporting L-Band RF over fiber from the antenna to the satellite receiver. Additionally transmitter provides optional 13/18V LNB power as well as Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to manage RF input level. By transporting the L-Band RF over fiber this range can be extended from several hundred feet to over 80 miles. Since optical signal is not affected by electromagnetic field, the quality of your signal will always stay at the high level. Also this fiber solution is more cost effective than coaxial system, as well as more reliable and flexible.

The LC-8120/8220 is the GPS-based speedometers which measure speed and distance of moving objects with high accuracy. Support for GLONASS satellite which is not supported in the conventional model (LC-8100A/8200A) to ensure stable measurement. Antenna for LC-8220 (LC-0721) is smaller and lighter than the conventional antenna for LC-8200A (LC-0086) and it enables easy operation. The new antenna (LC-0721) is able to attach to the conventional unit of LC-8200(A) for measurement. The linearity of acceleration and angular speed are improved by using the standard IMU (inertial measurement unit) together with the optional high accuracy IMU. Also, by adding the high response IMU analog output function (option), the analog output frequency of the IMU data can be increased from 100 Hz to 500 Hz. A wide range of optional functions such as white-line detecting function (LC-0856), jerk measurement function (LC-0871) and average deceleration speed calculation (function in the LC-0831) are available for various automotive tests.

Linear variable differential transformers (LVDT) are electrical transformer sensors to measure linear displacement. Driven by an AC excitation source, the LVDT generates a pair of AC output signals modulated according to the core's mechanical position (displacement). LVDTs have been widely used in applications such as power turbines, hydraulics, automation, aircraft, satellites, nuclear reactors, and many others. These transducers have low hysteresis and excellent repeatability.

GPS/GNSS Anti-Jam Antenna
8230 AJ
-
The 8230AJ anti-jam antenna is a high gain (40 dB) GNSS outdoor antenna with a unique conical antenna pattern that rejects interference from the horizon. The antenna rejects signals at lower elevation angles – where most of the interference comes from – and only receives signals from higher elevation angles where the true satellites are. This way, you get all the performance and timing accuracy you would with a standard antenna plus 20 dB or more of interference rejection.It uses a three-stage low noise amplifier, a mid- section SAW, and a tight pre-filter to protect against saturation by high level sub-harmonics and L-band signals. The antenna covers GPS L1, GLONASS L1, BeiDou B1, Galileo E1, and QZSS L1.

The RescueME PLB1 is the world's smallest 406mhz & GPS enabled PLBOperation of the rescueME PLB could not be simpler. To activate the PLB: Pull the retractable antenna out by its end tab, flip open the spring loaded cover over the activation button, hold the button for 1 second until the lights blink. Visual instructions are clearly printed on the case. When activated, the rescueME PLB1 will transmit accurate position data from its 66 channel GPS for a minimum of 24 hours while the integrated strobe light ensures maximum visibility.Ocean Signal has ensured that rescueME, like all of its other safety products, exceeds statutory requirements. RescueME PLB provides an incredible 7 year battery life, and is covered by a 7 year warranty. Even after more than 24 hours of continuous operation, and when the battery power is insufficient to transmit the satellite signal, the PLB1's homing beacon and strobe light will continue to operate. This high intensity strobe light features a molded lens to enhance the visibility of its efficient LED and it gives a powerful 1 candela light emission.Self-test of the PLB can be carried out with a simple button press with the start of test and results clearly indicated by a green flashing light. The antenna is easily extended like a normal tape measure and can be retracted using the winding mechanism on the top of the unit. This unique feature greatly facilitates user training and familiarization as it is not a one time deployable antenna similar to existing PLBs.rescueME comes with a snap-in mounting bracket and universal rubber mounting strap which can be fitted permanently or with each use. It is also supplied with a detachable flotation lanyard to accommodate all scenarios out of the box.
