The Skyware Global 2.4 m Dual Rx/Tx Antenna is a rugged commercial grade product suitable for the most demanding applications.
The dual optics design provides the superior cross-pol discrimination demanded for optimum performance networks.
The reflector is thermoset-molded for strength and surface accuracy. Molded into the rear of the reflector is a network of support ribs which strengthens and helps to maintain the parabolic shape necessary for transmit performance.
The heavy-gauge steel Az/El provides a rigid support to the reflector and feed support arm. Heavy-duty lock-down bolts secure the mount to any 168 mm (6.63”) O.D. mast and prevents slippage in high wind.
• Dual Optics design for ultra low cross-polarization.
• Hot-dip galvanizing is standard on this model for maximum environmental protection.
• Tx Cross-Polarization Isolation of 35dB within 1dB contour
