SATCOM GROUND STATION ANTENNA

Design Features The SAT-225-400R is single mode UHF SATCOM antenna which is ideal for SATCOM On-The-Move (SOTM) operation. The SATCOM antenna can be used for communicating with satellites low on the horizon. SAT-225-400R can be used with most tactical Multi-Band, Multi-Mode Receivers (MBMMR), as well as all airborne and ground transceivers. This high-gain antenna use Circular Polarization Antenna Technology - which delivers better penetration through obstruction and interference. This commercial grade antenna provides superior performance as compare to significantly larger and more expensive products. Our SAT-225-400R helical antennas are smaller than conventional yagi antenna. SAT-225-400R SATCOM antenna features of a single port high angle (RHCP) and low angle antenna system that is suitable for installation on vehicular, shipboard and ground shelter applications. No diplexer or switching is required.

Constructions The SAT-225-400R RHCP helical antennas utilizes right hand circular polarization to minimize the effects of multipath interference. The Right Hand Circular Polarized Helical Antenna is light weight, broadband and rugged helical antenna, supplied with fiberglass radome to protect the antenna from severe environmental conditions. Cylindrical enclosure is used for low wind loading and for minimal effect of ice formation on the helical antenna operation as well as providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The SAT-225-400 Helical Antenna is supplied with a specially designed mounting arrangement for steering the antenna in both planes, over 360 Degrees in Azimuth and 90 Degrees in Elevation for terrestrial and satellite links. The Antenna is highly suitable for SATCOM – Satellite high angle coverage and low angle air-to-air or ground-to-air communications.

Array Formation For higher gain requirement, the Helical antenna can be supplied in DUAL stacked or QUAD stacked arrays with suitable power splitter/combiner cable harness. Copper
