The Antenna Control Unit (ACU) provides configuration and calibration of an antenna array.

The polarisation of up to nine Sarsen antennas can be controlled by a single ACU, and a built-in continuous wave source is available for calibration and to transmit a test tone to check the integrity of the equipment in the receive chain. The ACU is fully controlled using TCP/IP over Ethernet and multiple units can be interconnected for larger systems.
