CPI Motorized Flyaway Antenna C180FA

Overview

The CPI Satcom & Antenna Technologies Inc. (CPI SAT) lightweight 1.8-meter motorized flyaway antenna is designed for worldwide transmit and receive operation in C, X, Ku and Ka-band. This flyaway antenna consists of a carbon fiber compos- ite reflector, a cable-driven elevation-over-azimuth positioner and an aluminum/CFRP support struc- ture. This results in a low-weight, motorized anten- na with superior stiffness and high performance under wind loading conditions. The unique shape and the accurate reflector surface provides exceptionally low sidelobe and cross-po- larization performance meeting INTELSAT and EUTELSAT requirements. Repeatability is main- tained with precision registration of the nine reflec- tor segments and the feed support structure. The interchangeable feeds are palletized for quick, easy removal and replacement, allowing the end-user to effectively change frequency bands in the field within minutes. The complete antenna system, including a single feed and a motorized positioner, is packaged in eight robust, portable cases.
