CPI Series 2244 2.4 M C-Band Circular Rx/Tx High-Wind Antenna

CPI Series 2244 2.4 M C-Band Circular Rx/Tx High-Wind Antenna

The CPI Series 2244 2.4 M C-Band Circular Rx/Tx High-Wind Antenna delivers dependable two-way satellite communications for fixed C-band earth stations.

The antenna covers 3.625-4.20 GHz receive and 5.85-6.425 GHz transmit frequencies. Its four-piece SMC reflector and offset-fed prime-focus design provide high gain, controlled sidelobes, and reliable circular polarization performance.

Engineered for severe environmental conditions, the antenna offers specified operational performance at wind speeds up to 90 mph and a survival wind rating of 150 mph. Available now at Esatcom Inc.
