The CPI Satcom & Antenna Technologies Inc. (CPI
SAT) lightweight 2.4-meter mobile antenna is
designed for worldwide transmit and receive opera-
tion in C, X, Ku and Ka-band. This mobile antenna
consists of a carbon fiber composite reflector and
back beam mounted on a cable-driven, eleva-
tion-over-azimuth positioning system. This results in
an antenna with superior stiffness and high perfor-
mance under wind loading conditions.
The unique shape and the accurate reflector surface
provide exceptionally low sidelobe and cross-polar-
ization performance well within INTELSAT and
EUTELSAT requirements. The interchangeable feeds
are palletized for quick, easy removal and replace-
ment, allowing the end-user to effectively change
frequency bands in the field within minutes. The
complete antenna system can be interfaced with
most light weight vehicle structures for the purpose
of mobile applications.
