Q: What is the total weight of this antenna?
A: Total weight is only 98kg, including reflector, tripod, feed, and portable cases. The carbon fiber reflector is key to the lightweight design – reducing weight by over 50% compared to traditional fiberglass or metal antennas.
Q: What are the advantages of a carbon fiber reflector compared to traditional materials?
A: Carbon fiber offers low density, high strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and corrosion resistance. It significantly reduces weight while maintaining reflector precision, and maintains shape stability across temperature variations – ensuring consistent RF performance.
Q: What does R.M.S ≤ 0.3mm surface accuracy mean in practice?
A: This represents very high manufacturing precision. Surface accuracy directly affects antenna gain and efficiency. 0.3mm precision ensures excellent performance at both Ku and Ka bands, approaching theoretical gain.
Q: Which communication frequency bands are supported?
A: Supports C, X, Ku, and Ka – four mainstream satellite communication bands. Quick switching between bands is achieved by changing feed components – one antenna meets multiple mission requirements.
Q: How long does deployment take?
A: Skilled operators can complete the entire process from unpacking to satellite pointing in just minutes. Tool-free design and intuitive adjustment mechanisms significantly reduce operational difficulty.
Q: Is the tripod mount stable?
A: Professionally engineered and rigorously tested. The tripod structure is stable and reliable under 40km/h operating wind conditions, and survives safely at 96km/h with ties down. Adapts to various complex terrains.
Q: What are the dimensions of the portable cases? Are they suitable for air freight?
A: The dedicated portable transport cases use standard dimensions, fitting most vehicle trunks and air freight requirements. Please contact sales representatives for specific dimensions.
Q: Is professional expertise required for operation?
A: No. The product is designed with ease of use in mind, including a compass and level. Simple training enables independent completion of assembly and pointing operations.
