1.3.1 Antenna
The Antennas available are:
− 6 feet: ANT6X-001
− 9 feet: ANT9X-001
− 12 feet: ANT12X-001 (only IEC 60945 tested)
The Antenna (Chapter 9, Figure 9.1.2 pos. 3) is fixed to the Pedestal Support
(pos. 1) by means of four (4) screw (pos. 1)
The antenna consists of
• a side feeded slotted waveguide of 6, 9, or 12 feet lengths,
• a waveguide feeding the slotted waveguide from the rotary joint
including a turnaround part. The connection to the rotary joint is
trough a choke flange without screws.
• a polarisator to radiate only in horizontal polarization.
• an antenna horn consisting of upper and lower side to form the
vertical beam.
• A plastic external cover for weather protection.
The antenna is mounted on the pedestal by the antenna support structure with
4 screws. This support structure makes the antenna more rigid against wind
and vibration.
