SKYWARE GLOBAL 1.2M KA-BAND TX/RX ANTENNA SYSTEM

w/Feed Horn, Polarizer, OMT Filter (AN121KAC202MC)

The Skyware Global l .2m Ka Band Antenna is a rugged, commercial quality product suitable for the most demanding applications.

The reflector is constructed from glass fiber reinforced polyester [SMC) for strength and accuracy. A proprietary process developed by Skyware Global insures high RF reflectivity as needed for Ko Band operation.

The precision Az/EI mount is made of galvanized steel for excellent corrosion resistance. This mount includes special features to increase pointing accuracy with low backlash and lockdown error.

This Az/EI allows the antenna to be installed on standard 89mm [3.5") OD installation mounts.

All hardware is plated to 720 hour salt spray standards under ASTM B-117.

Designed for use with the Skyware Global line of Ka-band transceivers with matched feed horn & polarizer.

  • One-piece precision SMC Reflector
  • Precision Az/El Mount
  • Fine Azimuth and Elevation Adjustment Features
  • All Materials Comply with EU Directive No. 2002/95/EC (RoHS]
  • 720 Hour salt Spray Hardware
  • Designed for Skyware Global Ka-Band Transceivers
