Ground antenna LM09

VHFsatelliteflexible

HITEC’s Limited Motion (LM) antennas are low maintenance and future proof antenna systems available in different diameters from 6m to 13m, designed for robust, reliable and high-performance operation for geostationary applications. The LM antennas can accommodate different feed systems and can operate at different frequencies, depending on the application. The reflector, 9.0m in diameter in a dual shaped Cassegrain configuration for high efficiency, is constructed from precision bonded aluminum panels. The backup structure consists of aluminum framework trusses, reinforced by a structural plenum. This configuration ensures optimum rigidity and surface accuracy under self weight and environmental effects and can accommodate the optional de-icing system. The antenna hub has generous interior dimensions (W x H x D: 1.7m x 1.5m x 1.1m) and allows placing up to 30 units of 19” racks and installing all converters and high-power amplifiers right next to the feed. Easy access to the equipment is ensured by a large opening covered by roller shutters. The LM-09 is equipped with the HITEC Luxembourg Antenna Control Unit HACU-1000, providing program track functionality as a baseline. Depending on customer requirements and the installed RF equipment, a step-track or monopulse capable version of the HITEC Luxembourg ACU can be installed. All satellite ground antenna systems, designed and produced by HITEC Luxembourg, are ITAR-free and can be delivered as turn-key solutions.
