CPI Series 1241 2.4 M C-Band Circular Rx/Tx VSAT Antenna

CPI Series 1241 2.4 M C-Band Circular Rx/Tx VSAT Antenna

The CPI Series 1241 2.4 M C-Band Circular Rx/Tx VSAT Antenna delivers reliable performance for fixed C-band satellite communications systems.

It covers 3.625-4.20 GHz receive and 5.85-6.425 GHz transmit frequencies. The circular-polarized feed provides specified receive and transmit axial ratios, while the four-piece SMC reflector simplifies transportation and field assembly.

The offset-fed prime-focus antenna and elevation-over-azimuth mount provide accurate positioning for commercial, government, broadcast, and enterprise earth stations. Available now at Esatcom Inc.
