7.5 ANTENNASYSTEMS
Parabolic antennas for fixed connection to ODU were developed for the 80 GHz band. The ALCOMA
parabolic antennas can be used for horizontal and vertical polarization and left or right hand installatio n
withoutmodifications.Allantennasarestandard equippedbyfrostprotection.Thechangeofpolarization
