Developed specifically to meet a wide range
of regulatory standards, including Intelsat's standard F-1 and E-2
specifications, ASC Signal's 4.6 Metre antenna compliments the popular ASC
Signal 3.7 metre and 4.5 metre Trifold antenna products. This new antenna is
Ka-band compliant, designed for C band and Ku-bands, and can be used world-wide
in transportable applications serving high-density data, voice, and
communications networks.
In addition, this 4.6 metre product provides
1.5 dB of gain over a 3.9 metre antenna, and is more cost effective than
purchasing an extra 1.5 dB of amplifier.
Dr. Russell Dearnley, ASC
Signal Vice President, Earth Station Antennas and Solutions, says, " In today's
market, it is essential to exceed customers' expectations and offer superior
antenna products. ASC Signal's new 4.6 Metre antenna achieves that goal by
providing cutting-edge technology with highly advanced capabilities. With its
Ka-band compliancy, this industry-leading antenna will most certainly please
our customers around the world."
Distributed across the globe, this
antenna uses the technologically advanced Trifold reflector, which is cut from
a single piece of precision spun aluminium. It features interchangeable feeds,
as well as dual skin reflectors for superior rigidity and lower RMS. With its
industry-proven tracking and non-tracking controllers, this antenna also has a
patent pending dual azimuth drive, created for unsurpassed accuracy.
All
ASC earth station products offer outstanding quality, with high gain and
superior pattern characteristics. The solid electrical performance and superior
versatility allows configuration with numerous options regarding transmitting
and receiving feed assemblies.
