About
Kratos provides a broad range of fixed earth stations designed for communication with geostationary satellites. These antennas range in size from 3.5m to 18m and can be configured for either receive-transmit or receive-only modes. They are engineered to deliver outstanding electrical performance and exceptional versatility, supporting low Passive Intermodulation (PIM) at certain Ku bands and all X-band systems. The antennas feature an extremely accurate surface contour, which results in exceptionally high gain and precisely controlled pattern characteristics. High-quality manufacturing ensures maximum durability and minimal maintenance requirements. The product page also mentions G/T and EIRP Capabilities for a selected range of Kratos Earth Station Antennas, indicating their performance metrics.
