If your fixed or mobile satellite terminal requires more antenna gain and must feature full hemisphere coverage, a SpaceCom tracking antenna can help you solve this problem. Communication through satellites involves weak signals. All parts of an antenna system must be optimized for this application like antenna gain, receiver noise figure, transmit power output and linearity, signal coding etc. With the antenna placed on a mobile platform - like a ship or a truck - further efforts are required to maintain communication when the ship or truck moves. This is done by electrical motors controlled by the build-in sensors. In order to track a satellite while the antenna platform itself is moving, the antenna array moves around a number of axis. All SpaceCom antennas have build-in tracking systems making them independent of outside systems - like ships gyro or master compass. Contact a [ STS Dealer ] near you for MORE INFORMATION |
