1. Overview of 1.8m ka band flyaway antenna
CF-FA180KA 1.8M manual flyaway antenna is one of Antesky newly launched flyaway antennas, which can meet the requirements of CCIR 580-6, ASIASAT and INTELSAT.
This 1.8m manual flyaway antenna panel is made of carbon fiber composite material more than 90% with light weight and high surface accuracy of 0.3 RMS. Antenna backup support structures and turntable pedestal are made of special materials with high stiffness. This compact structure can ensure the strength under the heavy wind condition. The feed structure is updated to realize quick installation and replacement with excellent electrical performance. Meanwhile, the 6 petals of panels can be installed repeatedly with high precision. Two persons can finish installation within 10 minutes and no tools required. The completed antenna system including reflectors, pedestal structure and feed network can be packed in two or three customized rigid aviation cases to prevent the components damaging during transportation.
It is widely used in temporary or frequently changing installation sites, or in where no regular communication means on the ground like in earthquake disaster relief, TV broadcasting, maritime affairs, exploration, meteorology and other emergency communication fields as easy to carry and quick deploy. This 1.8m manual flyaway antenna supports multimedia communication services such as voice, data, audio and video, and wide area network access in a limited time.
