SML240FA carbon fiber flyaway antenna offers superior performance in a lightweight, portable package.
SML240FA
This antenna features a 9 piece carbon fiber segmented reflector designed to provide high gain and low cross pol characteristics.The custom-designed elevation-over-azimuth tripod pedestal provides high stiffness with minimal weight.The antenna components are modular in design which also reduces assembly time and provides an improved packaging scheme requiring less time and effort to pack or unpack the antenna.
The antenna is designed to meet international performance specifications for commercial or off-the-shelf military applications and is readily available in C, X, Ku and Ka band frequencies.Multiple feed and integration configurations are available.
