The R&S®AC008 has a 90 cm special reflector with a broadband feed arranged near its focus and a device for positioning in two axes. For orientation with respect to incoming waves, the R&S®AC008 has a manual positioning device to adjust the antenna in the azimuth plane and in the elevation plane. This permits the antenna to be positioned for both terrestrial targets and geostationary satellites. Thanks to the unique feed support design, the antenna can be assembled and disassembled in a few seconds.
Key facts
Wide frequency range
Reception of linear, dual-linear and circular polarization
Collapsible for easy transport
Use of active feeds to compensate cable loss possible
Manual or remote controlled operation possible
Wide frequency range
Wide frequency coverage with a single antenna system
The R&S®AC008 covers the wide frequency range from 0.85 GHz to 26.5 GHz, saving time and space in setting up system operation compared to a multiple antenna arrangement.
For linear, dual-linear and circular polarization
Reception without limitation
The R&S®AC008 offers the choice of a series of antenna feeds. Depending on the selection, the antenna system can receive either linearly polarized signals, left-hand circularly polarized signals or right-hand polarized signals. Feeds are even available to support vertical polarization and horizontal polarization simultaneously. Operators can choose the best fit for their application.
