Overview

The PDA-180 provides instant access to satellite communications in Ku, Ka, X or C Band. It ensures reliable transmission for applications which can be DSNG, disaster relief, emergency communications, networks, etc..
 
The PDA-180 Drive-Away Antenna's precision, accurate reflector surface and prime focus design provide remarkably low sidelobes and excellent cross-polar performance. It has a three axes positioner which provides full antenna rotation and is entirely backlash-free in elevation, azimuth and polarization axes.
