CPI Series 2244 2.4 M Ku-Band Linear Rx/Tx High-Wind Antenna

CPI Series 2244 2.4 M Ku-Band Linear Rx/Tx High-Wind Antenna

The CPI Series 2244 2.4 M Ku-Band Linear Rx/Tx High-Wind Antenna delivers high-gain performance for commercial, government, broadcast, and enterprise satellite networks.

It operates across 10.70-12.75 GHz receive and 13.75-14.50 GHz transmit frequencies. The four-piece SMC reflector and offset-fed prime-focus design provide narrow beamwidth, low sidelobes, and excellent cross-polarization isolation.

Designed for demanding fixed Ku-band earth stations, the antenna maintains specified RF performance in high winds and withstands survival winds up to 150 mph. Available now at Esatcom Inc.
