TEST Aides & Ancillary Products
VT-063 Antenna in final assembly.
VT-063 Auto-Tracking Antenna (6.3 Meters)
The VT-063 twin-axis 6.3 meter diameter Auto-tracking antenna system from VuTrack is the culmination of a multi year company sponsored research and development project that has rethought the tracking antenna for the twenty first century.
Solid surface main antenna reflector technology manufactured from a carbon fibre and Kevlar honeycomb sandwich improved signal gain, less weight and better aerodynamics.
Optional Monopulse high gain signal recovery head with built in tracking receivers.
Fully integrated auto calibration system allows the antenna to be powered and operating at optimal capacity in minutes.
Brushless overrated motors with bus based controllers offering exceptional agility.
Absolute encoders in all rotating parts with better than 0.0001° accuracy.
Optional slip ring units with dual RF rotary joints in azimuth offering continuous unlimited azimuth movement.
The VT-063 antenna is built around an Ethernet network centric design. Optional receivers, bit syncs and decoders can be built in for traditional operation..
Optional embedded high resolution centerline camera system with 36x Optical and 200x Digital zoom.
Main tracking controller running Windows 7 or 10 PRO with ethernet interface.
The antenna can be broken down for transport with standard trucks. (see picture at top of page)
Optional GPS position and optional stabilized fluxgate platform making the system highly suitable for remote location, mobile or shipboard operation.

VT-TS-LC Telemetry Test and Porable Transmitter
Test or Portable Transmitter
The VT-TS-LC compact portable L through C band test transmitter system is a high performance RF transmitter in a compact 5V powered, robust, light-weight package. The VT-TS-LC test transmitter can generate TIER0 and TIER1 modulations and supports standard IRIG-106 Chapter 4/7/8 (and other formats) data encoding methods such as NRZ, BIO and RNRZ. Packet structures can optionally be supported (CH10/11,22/23). TMATS supported.
The test transmitter will generate a constant tone, a preset data sequence and/or provide full data replay either loaded on microSD card via an available Windows Based Program e.g. VuSoft. Network source may also be utilized and live data feeds may be simultaneously injected from such sources as a video camera.
