VT-012LC™ Transportable 1.2m Autotracking Antenna
The VT-012LC is a 1.2m autotracking antenna that can be broken down into three parts for transport in the tough cases supplied with the antenna system.
Using the latest Digital Rotary Scan (DRS) tracking head this 1.2m autotracking antenna offers exceptional dual polarization RF signal recovery over the L, S and C band ranges, with a single L, S and C band head assembly.
The built in dual channel Tracking/Data RF receiver provides both tracking data and combined data and clock outputs at the base of the antenna.
A build in Antenna Control Unit (ACU) works together with the integrated Tracking/Data RF receiver to provide exceptional autotracking even in the most difficult environments.
All the expected features of a professional level tracking antenna system (like slave tracking, acquire, vector tracking etc.) are provided by the ACU software included with the system, this software operates over an ethernet link between the VT-012LC antenna and a Windows PC running windows 7 thru 11. This PC requires no special extra hardware to do its job and can be a laptop or desktop system.
Of course, the VT-012LC still supports legacy external data receivers with its two amplified RF outputs.
A 2.0m reflector version the VT-020LC™ is also available.

Digital Rotary Scan (DRS™)
All JDA Systems autotracking antennas now feature the revolutionary next generation Digital Rotary Scan (DRS) ©® tracking system.
This unique and proprietary tracking technique has been developed by JDA Systems and offers major advantages against all other tracking methods used by all other companies:
Revolutionary next generation antenna tracking system
This unique and proprietary tracking technique has been developed by JDA Systems and offers major advantages against all other tracking methods used by all other companies:
Revolutionary next generation antenna tracking system
- Faster and more accurate tracking (> 45°/sec tracking on smaller antennas)
- Coherent detection of tracking signals
- Better rejection of interference signals
- Can withstand more than 200V per meter interference signals, even when in band (certified 200MHZ to 10GHz)
- The small size makes it suitable for use on all reflector sizes, even down to 40cm as it generates less shadow on the reflector
- The light weight simplifies the antenna mechanics and reduces the total antenna weight
- The exceptional signal illumination provides a better RF signal over a wider bandwidth (L thru C in a single dual polarized RF element)
- The reduced antenna weight allows for much higher antenna dynamics (> 120°/sec on smaller antennas)
- No need for an external complex old fashioned ACU, any Windows based PC with an ethernet link can act as the antenna controller
- The internal integrated ACU and receiver are perfectly paired as both are in one modular unit within the antenna
- Data and Clock outputs are provided directly from the antenna
- The antenna controller PC can be used remotely with only some sort of ethernet link between it and the antenna
- Dual amplified RF feeds are provided for use with external data receivers
A Revolution In How You Receive Your Telemetry Signals
JDA Systems are proud to introduce their new SNR polling product range which will revolutionize how customers recover their RF telemetry signals.
The SNRP-8-12-LSC is an intelligent SNR polling RF signal router that can take up to 8 antenna inputs per chassis and simultaneous monitor up to 12 frequencies from those RF signal sources, selecting the best quality RF sources to route to up to 12 RF outputs.
In a flight test environment that would usually require expensive tracking antennas you may now be able to use horns, or even dipoles, to recover your various RF signals and route them in an intelligent way to your data receivers.
The revolutionary design of the JDA Systems SNRP-8-12-LSC provides a reliable, lower cost, lower maintenance solution that is applicable to numerous flight test environments.

The Transport Box Is The Antenna
The new VT-004Q light weight ultra portable autotracking antenna is now shipping. This unique and revolutionary design is already causing a buzz as it allows for true single person portability of an entire ground telemetry system when teamed with our BOB2 telemetry ground station.
The Best Flight Test Software
The JDA industry standard VuSoft software now fully supports IRIG106 Chapter 7 down and up links. This modular software supports all JDA Systems hardware products and the applicable IRIG106 standards.
State Of The Art Receiver
JDA have upgraded our popular VT-RC-74DE dual channel 19-inch rack mounting receiver. It now has a larger high resolution 10-inch touch screen display and two ancillary touch screens, removing the need for a front panel keyboard and increasing the systems flexibility and capabilities. Check out the VT-RC-74DE for all the details.
Portable All Band Auto Tracking Antenna
Our best selling VT-006 all band (L, S &C), high gain, light weight, autotracking antenna has unlimited azimuth rotation through the use of slip rings and a dual channel rotary joint in the azimuth assembly. Also new are the recovered data and clock outputs from the bit synchronizers that are now standard with the built in dual channel all band tracking receiver (70MHz to 6GHz). This makes it possible to use the VT-006 as a stand alone unit without the need for an external data receiver or bit syncs (although of course these are still supported). Check out the VT-006 for all the details.
6.3m Deep Space TrackerCheck out the JDA Systems VT-063 antenna which is installed at DLR Neustrelitz, Germany. This solid carbon fiber 6.3m reflector antenna with its unique low loss self stabilized design (it requires no extra support infrastructure on the rear of the reflector) has been reliably gathering data from a deep space NASA probe and reliably helping to protect all of the world satellites from sun storm damage for more than ten years.
Portable Telemetry Ground Station Without Compromise
The BOB2 (Break Out Box 2) incorporates everything needed in a portable telemetry data analysis ground station. Included are bit syncs, decoms, encoders and full IRIG106 Chapter 4, Chapter 8, Chapter 9 and Chapter 10 support. These units are light weight, rugged, compact and are available in both 2 Channel and 4 Channel versions.
Compact Dual Channel All Band Receiver
The VT-RX-SC2U compact fully digital direct conversion all band (70MHz to 6GHz) receiver combines all the functions required for state of the art telemetry data reception, and optionally transmission, into a single easier to use and reliable system. Find out more details for this revolutionary product under VT-RX-SC2U. It comes in both 2 channel VT-RX-SC2U and 4 channel VT-RX-SC4U versions with combiner/best source selector option.
Instant On All Band Test Transmitter
We updated the VT-TS-LC test transmitter which now covers 70MHz through 6GHz range. Telemetry data may be loaded onto it via a microSD card which can be transmitted at any programmable frequency and data rate. The power comes from an external USB battery pack (easily available anywhere in the world) thus avoiding the problems involved with shipping units with internal lithium based batteries. The standard unit provides up to 100mW of output, and optionally up to 2W output in a small, light weight instant on design. You will find full details under VT-TS-LC.
