Summary

AvL 1812 Premium SNG / Military 1.8m Motorized Transportable Vehicle-Mount Satellite Antenna 2-Port Mode-Matched Ku-Band (Enhanced Cross-Pol comp.)

AvL's 1.8m vehicle-mount / drive away SNG antenna systems offer strong performance in a small, lightweight and low-profile package. The 1.8m antenna systems offer standard Ku-band, with L- and X-band optional. The antennas feature integrated GPS and level sensors for automatic vehicle tilt compensation.    

AvL’s SNG antennas are designed to meet and exceed the highest performance requirements around the world to guarantee both satellite authority compliance and peak in performance, reliability and availability. Typically these antennas are used in signal contribution for high data rate and bandwidth as well as high power broadcast or similar applications.

AvL 1812 Ku-Band Vehicle-Mount Premium SNG Antenna Systems feature:
• Non-load-bearing 1.8m AvL carbon fiber single-piece reflector with surface treatment for Ka-band
• High-precision azimuth bearing
• Integrated backing structure for minimized stow height
• Wide booms to allow larger HPA envelope
• Jog control or fully automatic auto-acquisition controllers
• Feed options for Ku-, Ka- and X-band; optional C-band for international
• RF electronic mounting either on feed boom, back of reflector, base, or inside vehicle
• 25ft (8m) RG59 coax and controller interconnect cables
• Zero backlash AvL Cable Drive with 400° Az & 0-90° El movement
• Stows to 17.7" H (45 cm H)
• Optional saddlebag mount for larger HPAs
• High-torque elevation motor
• Through-pedestal cross-axis waveguide kit
• Optional Transmit Rotary Joint on Feed
• Limited function 3-axis jog controller with auto-stow
• Optional aerodynamic cowlings
• Aerodynamic cowling is available
