Andrew Corporation Unveils the 6.5-Meter Dual-Reflector Earth Station Antenna
ORLAND PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 1999--
Meter-for-meter, the new
6.5-meter dual-reflector ESA gives the highest gain along with
superior pattern performance
Andrew Corporation (NASDAQ:ANDW) announced a 6.5-meter
dual-reflector earth station antenna that supplies excellent
performance for high-density data, voice communications networks and
broadcast applications. The new antenna has a dual-reflector Gregorian
optical system to give high gain and closely controlled pattern
characteristics.
Available with C- or Ku-band capabilities, the 6.5-m ESA includes
several labor-saving features for reducing field installation time and
costs. A self-aligning main reflector eliminates the need for field
alignment. The 2-port circular receive and transmit C-band combiner
can be field-switched from circular to linear polarization.
"The antenna's dual reflector Gregorian optics system ensures
that meter-for-meter, the 6.5-meter antenna, like all Andrew
dual-reflector antennas, gives the highest gain along with superior
pattern performance," said Dave Neubauer, product line manager for
Andrew Corporation's earth station antennas.
Andrew 6.5-meter ESAs are compliant with the following industry
transmission ssandards: FCC 25.209 specifications from 1- to
180-degrees at C- and Ku-bands; Brasilsat, ASIASAT, EUTELSAT, APSTAR,
and INTELSAT F-2 at C-band and E-3 at Ku-band.
The 6.5-meter ESA's steel ground mount assembly is hot-dipped
galvanized for extended product life. Stainless steel hardware
provides maximum resistance against corrosion. The new antenna has a
guaranteed wind survival factor of up to 125 mph (200 kph) in any
operational position. A three-year warranty is included for all
structural components.
Modular equipment options available include anti-icing equipment,
pressurization systems, microprocessor steptrack control, and manual
or motorizable mounts.
