The SAILOR 100 GX ADU is a 103 cm stabilized tracking antenna, consisting of a suspended
antenna with a standard global RF configuration. It is stabilized by heavy duty vibration
dampers in 3-axi (plus skew)s and can be used in environments with elevations of -25° to +
125°. The ADU weighs 126 kg and is powered by the ACU. The ADU is protected by a
radome. All communication between the ADU and the ACU passes through the a single
standard 50 Ohm cable (with N connector) through the rotary joint. No cable work is
required inside the radome.
