4.8M Compact Cassegrain Antenna
The VertexRSI 4.8-meter Cassegrain Antennadelivers exceptional performance for transmit/receive and receive only applications for C through Ka-Band frequencies.
This antenna offers a deep dish
reflector that incorporates precision-formed panels, contoured
radials and a machined hub assembly. It features an innovative
feed and subreflector design which results in high gain, low noise
temperature, high antenna efficiency and excellent rejection of
noise and microwave interference. The reflector is supported
by a galvanized pedestal that provides the required stiffness for
pointing and tracking accuracy. The pedestals are designed for full
orbital arc coverage and are readily adaptable to ground or rooftop
installations. The electrical performance is compliant with FCC
25.209 regulations and ITU-RS-580 sidelobe specifications. Type
approved configurations are available for Intelsat (F1, E2), Eutelsat
(L), Asiasat, Hispasat, EuropeStar or Singapore Telecom. All
configurations meet SATCOM Technologies' own type-approved
quality assurance and performance guarantee.
