U50KR - Wave Guide Flat Panel Antenna

Flat array antenna is mainly used as military radar antenna with high power amplifier, especially in the mobile field, such as air-bone radar, ship-bone radar and sat-on-the-drive radar. It can either be used as supplementary station for telecommunication and TV program receiving.

Taken waveguide horn as the basic unit, the antenna support dual directions communication in same panel. Apply it into satellite communication is rather creative event and features the following innovations.

(1)Highly integrated structure design
 

The communication terminal integrated satellite antenna, servo system, BUC, LNB in one portable case. The user just need one touch initiation after open the case when using it. And it can be taken away manually when the antenna stored. No reflector assembly and disassembly work necessary. Integrated structure design simplified operation, makes compact, mini-size, intelligent features a reality.

(2)Advanced technology and excellent performance
 

Flat panel array antenna adopts new gain acquiring mode based on the principle of electromagnetic wave diffraction and interferometry. Taken waveguide horn and ortho-mode coupler as the basic unit of the antenna, it can perform dual frequency, dual polarization, and Tx/Rx in the same horn function. It support full duplex communication with compacted design. All the waveguide horns on the flat panel direct to the satellite and No reverse radiation generated.

Except waveguide horn and coupler, antenna feed network adopts waveguide transmission either. Satellite amplifier and LNB connect the antenna with hard waveguide. All the radio sections of the antenna are constituted by waveguide which highly improve efficiency and decrease insert loss.

The improvement of antenna efficiency means the increase of antenna gain and realize higher transmission rate with the same aperture. The antenna aperture is 500mm×500mm, receive gain no less than 36.5dBi and Tx gain no less than 37.5dBi, equal to 0.7m ordinary parabolic antenna.

High power amplifier bearing waveguide and low side lobe, ≤ -22dB, flat panel array design make the antenna meets satellite communication requirements.

(3)One touch sat-acquiring operation
 

Built-in servo system makes the satellite acquiring operation completed by just touching one button.

From opening the portable case to point the satellite accurately, it takes only 3 minutes and vice versa. Automation simplified the antenna deployment and storage procedure. During the satellite acquiring process, the antenna can calibrate the initial azimuth and title error automatically and decrease requirements of special skills to the user.

(4)System Extend to Satellite Communication Terminal.
 

User can integrate satellite communication baseband cards such as MODEM card, CODEC card to extend the system into Satellite Communication Integrated Terminal according to their requirements. They can also realize the business communication only by connecting customer business terminal with customer data interfaces.

(5)New Materials, Lighter Weight
 

The carrying weight for the flat panel antenna is 31.5kg as its structure and cover are made of carbon fiber, this is designed to ensure antenna reinforced structure, but also easy carrying.

(6)Graphical User Interface On Mobile Phone
 

The flat panel antenna is designed to use mobile phone APP to complete whole operation. The mobile phone APP user-friendly graphical interface design (GUI) makes the antenna operation process easier and simpler. The mobile phone APP can store 256 satellite parameters.

Generally, the flat panel antenna is a new satellite communication equipment featuring its compact, lightweight, high power, faster deployment, auto-pointing and easy carry away. The flat panel antenna is combination of various innovative technologies.
