About
The Single-beam Feed is a crucial component of mirror antennas, serving the primary function of forming a narrow field pattern. This design allows for precise directionality and, if required, enables the repointing of the antenna within its designated servicing area. The feed is constructed from durable materials such as aluminium, brass, and invar. Its internal channels feature a mechanical operation roughness (Ra) ranging from 0.63 to 1.25, and are coated with gold or silver for optimal performance. The product is available in various designs, including one-port and multi-port feeds, multi-band feeds, and feeds specifically designed as direction finders. It supports a wide range of frequency bands, including C, Ku, Ka, and Q.
