About
The Ground Antenna System TAS 4 / 6-6.0 m is a transceiver two-mirror antenna system built on the Cassegrain system, specifically designed for use in satellite communications earth stations operating in the C-band. It features a 6.0 m reflector with an irradiating system and a counter-reflector, along with a slewing ring equipped with electromechanical drives. The system is capable of receiving frequencies from 3.4-4.2 GHz and transmitting frequencies from 5.725-6.725 GHz, utilizing circular polarization. It offers a receive gain of ≥43.6 dB and a transmission gain of ≥48.1 dB, with a cross polarization interchange of ≥30 dB. The antenna has working angles in azimuth of ±60° and in elevation from 0° to 65°, with working speeds of less than 0.15°/s. The product was released in 2015 and has a guaranteed service life of 15 years. The estimated production and delivery time is 12 months, and it can be adapted to customer requirements. It’s important to note that the structure does not include radio receivers and radio transmitting devices.
