CPI SAT C240M 2.4M Vehicular Mounted SNG Antenna System
High EIRP, C, X, Ku or Ka-Band Feed Configurations, Ideal for SNG Applications
C240M Compact 2.4 Meter Mobile SNG VSAT
The CPI SAT (formerly GD Satcom Technologies & Prodelin) lightweight C240M 2.4m mobile antenna is designed for worldwide transmit and receive operation in C, X, Ku and Ka-band. This mobile antenna consists of a carbon fiber composite reflector and back beam mounted on a cable-driven, elevation-over-azimuth positioning system. This results in an antenna with superior stiffness and high performance under wind loading conditions. The unique shape and the accurate reflector surface provide exceptionally low side lobe and cross-polarization performance, well within INTELSAT and EUTELSAT requirements.
