About
The Antenna Feeder Device 3 is a transceiver two-mirror antenna system built on the Cassegrain system. It is specifically designed for use as part of earth stations in satellite communications operating in the C-band. The system includes an antenna with a 3.7-meter reflector, an irradiating system, a counter-reflector, and a slewing ring equipped with electromechanical drives. It does not include radio receivers and radio transmitting devices. The product was released in 2012 and has a guaranteed service life of 15 years. It can be adapted to customer requirements, with an estimated production/delivery time of 9 months. Key specifications include a receive frequency range of 3.4-4.2 GHz, a transmission frequency range of 5.7-6.6 GHz, and linear polarization. It offers a receive gain of at least 39.5 dB and a transmission gain of at least 43.9 dB, with a cross polarization interchange of at least 30 dB. The working angles are ±270° in azimuth and 0° to 90° in elevation, with working speeds less than 1.0°/s.
