Along with broadcasting and Internet access, satellite communications have transformed the way of global connectivity, enabling seamless communication over long distances. As one of the basic components of the satellite communication system, the satellite antenna is responsible for transmitting and receiving signals to satellites in space.
Previously, we had shipped one set of 7.3M C/KU Dual bands receive only antenna to Europe and the antenna operates well with local network until now. In this article, we will explore the excellent performance and advantages of the newly updated 4.5m C & Ku Dual Band Satellite Antenna.
1. What is satelliteantennas?
Before going into the details of the 4.5m C & Ku dual band satellite antenna, first let us briefly discuss the basics of a satellite antenna. Satellite dishes are parabolic reflectors used to focus and direct electromagnetic signals toward or from specific points in space. The size of an antenna is a key factor affecting its performance, with larger antennas generally providing higher gain and better signal quality.
It has to be said that C&Ku dual-frequency technology is a major improvement in satellite communications. General satellite dishes usually work in a single frequency band, but with dual-band technology, one antenna can now cover both C and Ku bands. The C-band operates in 3.4 to 4.2 GHz, while the Ku-band operates in 10.95 to 12.75 GHz. This dual-band capability ensures flexibility and adaptability to changing communication needs, making these antennas more versatile and cost-effective. Below is the technical specification and diagram of 4.5m C & Ku dual band satellite antenna for reference.
