5.6m Ka-band Earth Station Antenna

EARTH STATION ANTENNA
5.6 Meter Ka ESA
Like all ASC Signal earth station antennas, this antenna system
is used worldwide in broadcast applications and high density data,
voice and communications networks.
The ASC Signal 5.6 meter earth station antenna features a computeroptimized dual reflector Gregorian optics system and close-tolerance
manufacturing techniques.
This combination provides extremely accurate surface contour
resulting in exceptionally high gain and closely controlled pattern
characteristics. ASC Signal earth station antennas provide maximum
durability with minimal maintenance.
The unique design of the 5.6 meter Ka-band pedestal eliminates the
need for critical foundation orientation. Each pedestal is engineered
with self aligning bearings of the elevation pivots. In addition, azimuth/
elevation anti-backlash ball jacks are incorporated to provide smooth
positioning of the antenna.
The electrical performance and exceptional versatility provides
the ability to configure the antenna with your choice of linearly- or
circularly- polarized 2- or 4- port combining networks. That versatility
is provided at the time of initial purchase, as well as in the future, as
your satellite communication requirements evolve.
The 5.6 meter Ka-band antenna is offered with two hub sizes to
accommodate a variety of RF electronics integration packages.
Features
• Rugged aluminum and steel construction
• Superior Pointing Accuracy
• Advanced Gregorian optics
• 3 Year Warranty on all Structural Components
• Configured for Ka-Band transmit and receive
• Pedestal mount is designed to allow non-critical
foundation orientation.
• Two Hub Sizes Available.
