About
The Antenna System 7.2 m C/Ku is a receiving two-mirror antenna system built on the Cassegrain design. It is specifically intended for use as part of satellite communications earth stations to receive signals from spacecraft in both the C and Ku frequency bands. The system includes an antenna with a 7.2-meter reflector, an irradiating system, a counter-reflector, and a slewing ring with electromechanical drives for precise pointing. It features remote polarization switching, allowing for either circular or linear polarization. The structure does not incorporate radio receivers or radio transmitting devices. The product was released in 2016, has a guaranteed service life of 10 years, and an estimated production/delivery time of 12 months. It also offers the possibility to be adapted to customer requirements.
