The antenna system consists of dual shaped Cassegrain reflectors with backup structure, a frequency reused feed assembly with corrugated horn, an elevation-over-azimuth limit motion kingpost pedestal., the hub connecting the main reflector with mount. The pedestal provides the guaranteed pointing accuracy required in C band operations.
Antenna system is characteristic of high gain, low sidelobes, low cross polarization, capable for frequency reuse both in transmit and receive bands, high driving/control accuracy with angle position display in high resolution.
The radiation patterns meet the associated requirements of INTELSAT IESS, and CCIR for satellites at 2 degrees spacing location in geo- stationary orbit.
