RC4500
Next Generation Three Axis Antenna Controller
The RC4500 Three Axis Antenna Controller is designed to control antennas which use resolver based position sensors and employ an Antenna Interface Unit (AIU) at the antenna mounting pad. The RC4500 is available in both non-tracking and inclined orbit satellite tracking configurations.
