Importance of RF performance, antenna control system optimization, and mission assurance for critical SATCOM systems
⸻
In today’s rapidly evolving SATCOM environment, ground segment performance directly impacts mission success. At Parity Global, our field engineers specialize in testing, optimizing, and maintaining complex earth station systems — ensuring maximum uptime and signal quality for defense, commercial, and government networks.
1. Why RF Performance Checks Matter
Whether you’re operating a single 3.8 m antenna or managing a multi-site global network, accurate and regular RF performance testing is essential. Our on-site Preventive Evaluation Testing covers:
•G/Ts Measurements
•PIM detection and mitigation
•Antenna Gain & Cross-pol isolation analysis
•Antenna alignment and sub-reflector Re-Verification
These routine tests help Parity identify any performance bottlenecks before they impact operations. We log results and compare to subsequent site visit and performance testing in order to identify and resolve any trending degradation.

2. Antenna Control System (ACS) Optimization
Modern ground stations rely on advanced ACS platforms like CPI’s 900 Series ACS, and Radeus Labs 2000, 8000, 9000 Series systems, integrating:
•Precise tracking for GEO & MEO constellations
•Minimal Beam Radial Error
•Induction motor health monitoring
•Tracking Signal quality and calibration
Upgrading legacy ACS hardware often results in reliability, reduced maintenance costs, and improved operational stability.
