ไทยGigasat FA-240
Flyaway Antenna for Commercial
A 2.4 meters flyaway antenna for multi-band transmission on all commercial satellites including Intelsat/Eutelsat
The Gigasat FA-240 is designed specifically for any application requiring a compact, rugged multiband antenna which is rapidly deployable with no tools.
The Gigasat FA-240 has a unique multi-band feed arm allowing a change of frequency band in a matter of seconds simply by swapping out a quick release feed cartridge. Termination of transmit waveguide and receive coax is in a safe position at the back of the reflector.
The reflector itself is moulded from carbon fibre honeycomb, ensuring light weight and maximum strength with no deformation, even after being re-assembled hundreds of times.
The axially symmetric design with prime focus feed was chosen because of its overall compact dimensions which make the packed size of the antenna smaller than any other comparable product of similar gain.
It also means that unlike offset fed designs, each antenna petal is identical allowing simple replacement in case of damage. Intelsat/Eutelsat compliance is guaranteed, including side lobe performance better than 29-25 logθ.
Operators in the field face difficulties and the attention to detail found in the Gigasat FA-240 antenna greatly assists.
Features such as fully adjustable, wide spreading legs for high stability on any terrain.
Once deployed, zero backlash, zero back drive gears in all three axis ensure the antenna will remain on target.
The FA-240 can be fully motorised and when combined with the GigaSat STC-100 antenna controller it can automatically acquire and track, even on inclined orbit satellites.
The FA-240 packs into two conveniently sized flight cases and carbon fibre is used not only on the reflector and feed arm but also in the mount and flight cases keeping the weight down to an absolute minimum for transportation.
