1. ANTENNA
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Flydrive Motorised Antenna System is a highly compact satellite earth terminal, capable
of operating with most of the geostationary C, X, Ku, DBS and Ka band satellites, which are
currently in orbit or are planned.
Its function is to transmit TV programming and communications and to be capable of
monitoring its own transmissions from many sites around the world.
The system has been designed to be used as a flyaway antenna or is able to be fitted to a
standard vehicle roof rack without any modifications to either the antenna or vehicle.
The antenna may be packed in two configurations to allow either quick deployment or case
weights to be under 32kg to comply with the IATA weight restrictions for air travel.
The Antenna Control Unit allows the operator to deploy or stow the antenna with minimum
effort from within the operator’s environment.
The elevation and azimuth backup handle is stowed within the main antenna cases.
