Kratos 13.5m C-, DBS- or Ku-band THC Earth Station Antenna
| Condition: | New OEM |
| Model: | ES135-1 |
| Manufacturer: | Kratos Defense & Security Solutions |
The Kratos 13.5m Earth Station Antenna (formerly CPI – Viasat) gives you high-performance in C-, Ku- or DBS-band geostationary satellite applications. The shaped Cassegrain reflector provides superior gain and sidelobe performance, meeting stringent FCC and international requirements. Precision stretch-formed and interchangeable aluminum panels are attached to a central structural steel hub with rigid, interchangeable structural trusses.
The panels are coated with a solar-diffusive white coating system that provides years of environmental protection while minimizing thermal expansion effects. The reflector back structure and subreflector spars are designed to exacting rigidity requirements under wind and gravity loads. The hub provides a protective enclosure for sensitive electronics.
The Kratos “Turning Head (THC)” mount provides an efficient structure for supporting and positioning the feed/ reflector system over a full 360° in 70° continuous sectors. Elevation travel provides 0° to 90° of continuous travel. Extended azimuth travel is available as an option. Antenna Control System options range from Step track, SmarTrack®, Predictive track and monopulse tracking systems.
