What are the different kinds of satcom antenna?

Antenna sorts is distinguished with different basis. With the reflector quantity, it can be divided into dual reflector and single reflector antenna. For the feed method, it is prime focus antenna and offset antenna. For the band, it included single and multi band antenna etc.

What are the features of satellite communication?

1. Large coverage area and long communication distance 2. Multi-link capability 3. Wide frequency band, large communication capacity 4. Good communication quality and high reliability 5. Flexible communication 6. Various band covering with different satellites

What's the difference between LEO, MEO, HEO and GEO?

LEO: Low Earth Orbit(orbit 700~1500 km above the Earth’s surface) MEO: Medium Earth Orbit(orbit 10000~20000 km above the Earth's surface) perigee apogee HEO: Highly Elliptical Earth Orbit (Degree 63.4 or 116.6 ) GEO: Geostationary Earth Orbit(35768 Km; Time period : 24 hrs)

Application of Satcom Antenna

Antenna is an important part of satcom communication system as the antenna RF signal input and output channel. The performance of antenna and microwave waveguide components affect whole system performance. The distance between antenna and satellite is far. To assure the signal effective transmission, most of the earth station adopts parabolic antenna. All of Dolph Microwave offered antenna is parabolic antenna with features is high gain and better directivity.
