About
The Kratos 3.9 Meter Trifold™ is a transportable satellite antenna system, designed for use worldwide in various applications serving data, voice and communications networks. It provides a broad range of adjustments for non-critical Positioner/Trailer orientation and the ability to view geostationary satellites, horizon-to-horizon, from any location worldwide. The system offers high quality and dependable antenna platform, supported by the Kratos service and support network. Its electrical performance and versatility allow configuration with a variety of transmit and receive feed assemblies, including multiple linearly or circularly polarized C-band, X-band, X-band Low Passive Intermodulation (PIM), Ku-band, K-band, and Ka-band feed systems. Each feed system is designed to be easily removable for transport. The antenna system design consists of a spun aluminum reflector, a removable subreflector, heavy duty elevation over azimuth Positioner, and an optional heavy duty Trailer for transport. It provides a complete solution for mobile communications, configurable for commercial and military applications. Features include Tracking and Auto Acquisition, UHF to Ka-Band Capabilities, various configuration and integration options, three-axis motorization, and rugged aluminum and steel construction for wind survival.
