Overview
PDA-120 is a fully motorized Gregorian offset Antenna System with a 1.2m and a perfectly shaped Carbon-Fiber POD (Shell) protection for the antenna and BUC against weather influences and to improve vehicles' aerodynamics.
The PDA-120 Antenna System includes precision-made and accurate Carbon-Fiber Reflector surface, combined with the Dual Optic design that provides remarkably low sidelobes and excellent cross-polar performance with the specially designed feed-horn system.
The lightweight construction and compact installation on top of any kind of vehicle make it the ideal choice for fast Newsgathering (SNG) for broadcasters and for VSAT applications (Disaster Relief Emergency Communications, Corporate Networks, Military satellite communications).
