9M Ku Band Earth Station Antenna Project —— In Saudi Arab

2017-08-10

General Background

The probecom Arabsat& STC 9M Earth station project delivers exceptional performance for transmit/receive applications for Ku-band frequency. This ground earth station antenna offers a reflector design that incorporates precision-formed panels, truss radials and hub assembly using matched tooling for interchangeable components. It features an innovative Ring-focus feed and sub-reflector design which results in high gain, low noise temperature, high antenna efficiency and excellent rejection of noise and microwave interference. A large center hub provides spacious accommodation for equipment mounting. The reflector is supported by a galvanized elevation over azimuth kingpost pedestal that provides the required stiffness for pointing and tracking accuracy. The pedestals are designed for full orbital arc coverage and are readily adaptable to ground or rooftop installations.

Highlighted features

a) Precisely adjusted before leaving factory, and no need theodolite to adjust the panel accuracy;

b) Meets CCIR 580 and INTELSAT Requirements

c) High precision alloy aluminum main reflector.

d) Hot spray galvanized with white paint

e) High RF performance

f) Galvanized stainless steel hardware

g) A large hub for install RF equipment

h) Multi-layer anti-corrosion treatment.
