Antenna pointing mechanism

The KARMA-8 FG is a state-of-the art Antenna Pointing System that consists of three main sub-systems.

Sub-systems:

  • Bi-axial Antenna Pointing Mechanism elevation over azimuth
  • Ka-band High Gain Antenna incl. polarizer (RHCP), RF feed through by wave-guides and Rotary-Joints
  • X-band High Medium Antenna (horn type) with polarizer (RHCP), RF feed through by flexible coaxial cable

The mechanism builds on the heritage from KARMA-7 First Generation (FG) with new driveline components giving back-lash free pointing with high accuracy.

Key features

  • High pointing accuracy
  • Dual band Ka HGA, and X MGA
  • High TX power capacity
  • Low insertion loss
  • Low mass
