VT-009™ Autotracking Antenna
The VT-009 is a high gain portable autotracking antenna, it is self contained and is simple to setup and
operate. The VT-009 has a dual polarization head that can receive signals from L thru C band with full
data recovery and autotracking using a unique JDA Systems developed autotracking technique. It can
point from directly overhead down to the horizon with unlimited rotation in azimuth. The recovered
combined data and clock signal outputs from the inbuilt bit synchronizers are provided from the
integrated dual channel tracking receiver within the VT-009, along with the dual amplified RF feeds, so It
is possible to operate the VT-009 stand alone without the need for an external data receiver if required.

The VuSoft software is used to provide the Antenna Control Unit (ACU) functions. This
provides auto calibration, slaved "pointers", Program Tracking, Pre Tracking, Slaved
Tracking and Full Autotracking systems together with optional data acquisition and data
storage. The VT-009 is controlled via Ethernet that allows the antenna to be placed
virtually anywhere that can be reached by a LAN making it possible to remote control or
slave multiple antennas together even over exceptionally long distances.
