Like all Kratos (formerly CPI – ASC Signal – Andrew) earth station antennas, this 8.1m Ka-band Earth Station Antenna provides high gain and exceptional pattern characteristics.

This antenna system is designed to address the stringent requirements of both the television broadcast industry and telecommunications network operators who demand unsurpassed flexibility and electrical performance in high-quality, cost-effective, and reliable packages.

The 8.1m antenna is offered with a manual or motorizable mount allowing 225 degrees of total pointing coverage in multiple overlapping continuous travel segments of 45 degrees. This antenna can be provided with NGC controlled mount motorization and/or the Kratos Sub- reflector tracker (SRT) for high throughput Ka-band applications. The NGC-control system combined with the motorized mount and SRT provides pointing and tracking capability on up to 6 axis of movement.

The electrical performance and exceptional versatility provides the ability to configure the antenna with your choice of combining network. That versatility is provided at the time of initial purchase, as well as in the future, as your satellite communication requirements evolve.

This antenna system is used worldwide in broadcast applications and high density data, voice and communications networks. The Kratos 8.1m Earth Station Antenna features a computer-optimized dual reflector Gregorian optics system and close-tolerance manufacturing techniques.

This combination provides extremely accurate surface contour resulting in exceptionally high gain and closely controlled pattern characteristics. Kratos earth station antennas provide maximum durability with minimal maintenance.
