About
The Kratos KPBESA40M.C2 is a 4.0 Meter Earth Station Antenna featuring a dual reflector Gregorian optics system and close-tolerance manufacturing techniques, providing extremely accurate surface contour for high gain and controlled pattern characteristics. It is designed to meet the stringent requirements of television broadcast and telecommunications network operators, offering flexibility and electrical performance. The antenna system can be configured with linearly- or circularly-polarized 2- or 4-port combining networks. It offers a motorizable pedestal mount with 180-degree coarse azimuth coverage in three continuous overlapping ranges, and an optional low-cost mount utilizing a customer-provided pipe or Kratos provided flanged pipe mount. An optional equipment enclosure is available for mounting RF equipment. The antenna is used worldwide in broadcast applications and high-density data, voice, and communications networks. It is compliant with ITU-R S.580-6, 465-6, 732-1 (C, X, Ku Band) and US FCC 25.209 (X, Ku Band). It is built for maximum durability with minimal maintenance and comes with a 3-year warranty on all structural components.
