Overview: The HD65 Series Antenna Pedestal is designed for high reliability and accuracy in supporting solid reflectors up to 4.5 meters and FLAPS™ reflectors up to 5.5 meters in winds of 50 MPH. It features EL/AZ or X-Y positioner configurations, auto-tracking feed, and supports L-Band through Ka-Band frequencies.
Key Features:- High torque and low backlash achieved through planocentric gearboxes and brushless DC motors.
- Rotary joints and sliprings for continuous azimuth rotation.
- PC-based automated control with P-Series ACU.
- Optional features include acquisition-aid antenna, compass, inclinometer, and fiber-optic control.
Specifications:- Reflector Diameter: 3.0 to 4.5 meters for solid reflectors, up to 5.5 meters for FLAPS™.
- Operating Frequency: 1435 MHz to 2400 MHz, with other bands available upon request.
- Polarization: Simultaneous right and left-hand circular, with orthogonal linear polarizations available.
- VSWR: Maximum of 2.0:1.
- Environmental Conditions: Operates in temperatures from -20°C to +52°C, with storage temperatures from -54°C to +71°C. Can withstand winds up to 80 km/h, gusting to 105 km/h.
