1. Overview
ACF-120K 1.2m Motorized flyaway antenna from Antesky is highly compact, light weight, making it convenient to carry and quick deploy. The flyaway antenna system is mainly composed of antenna control unit, antenna drive unit, input and output unit, GPS module, beacon receiver, inclinometer and other components. It provides simple one-button function for end user and can realize satellite aligning within 3 minutes. As the manual flyaway antenna, it can meet the requirements of CCIR 580-6, ASIASAT and INTELSAT as well. It is suitable for for temporary or frequently changing installation sites, or in where no regular communication means on the ground including earthquake disaster relief, TV broadcasting, maritime affairs, exploration, meteorology and other emergency communication fields.
Antenna panel is made of composite carbon fiber material with light weight and high surface accuracy of 0.3 RMS. The prime focus feed is updated with excellent electrical performance of low side lobe and remarkable cross-polarization. This flyaway antenna features 8 petals of carbon fiber panels, which can be assembled repeatedly with high precision. One person can finish installation within 5 minutes with no tools required. The completed antenna system weighs about 27kgs and be packed in three rigid customized cases with IATA compliant and cost effective for shipping.
