HITEC’s Full Motion (FM) antennas are designed for communicating with LEO (e.g. Earth Observation) and MEO (e.g. GNSS) satellites. The FM antennas can accommodate different feed systems and can operate at different frequencies, depending on the application.
Typical application
Telemetry, Tracking & Control (TT&C), In Orbit Testing (IOT), Earth Observation,
Telecommunication for medium-earth and low-earth satellites
Standard diameter 3.6m, 5.0m
Frequencies L-, S-, C- and X-band
Ultra-wideband Rx-only (L/S/C/X/Ku)
Antenna mount Elevation over azimuth
Velocity El: 3°/s - Az: 7.5°/s
Elevation travel -5° to 95°
Azimuth travel ± 300°
Options De-icing, rain blower, dehydrator, aircraft warnings, hub racks, motion warnings, etc
