CPI Series 1304/1305 3.0 M C- or Ku-Band Receive-Only Antenna

CPI Series 1304/1305 3.0 M C- or Ku-Band Receive-Only Antenna

The CPI Series 1304/1305 is a commercial-grade 3.0 m receive-only satellite antenna available for C-band or Ku-band operation. Its eight-segment SMC reflector delivers 40.0 dBi C-band or 49.0 dBi Ku-band midband gain. Available with continuous azimuth adjustment or a declination-corrected polar mount, it is ideal for fixed broadcast, telecommunications and data-reception applications.
