As PALS's largest drive-away antenna, the PDA-240 delivers unparalleled power and reliability for the most demanding satellite applications. Engineered for excellence, it supports manual, automatic, and intuitive one-button operation, ensuring rapid and effortless deployment for critical missions in DSNG, disaster relief, emergency response, and secure network communications.
Precision is paramount. The PDA-240's advanced design guarantees remarkably low sidelobes and excellent cross-polar performance, securing a superior and interference-free signal. Its robust three-axes positioner provides complete, backlash-free rotation in elevation, azimuth, and polarization, ensuring pinpoint accuracy and a rock-solid satellite lock in any environment.
Despite its large aperture, the system features a lightweight, highly durable, and aerodynamic structure, enabling uninterrupted satellite communication from the most remote and challenging locations. The PDA-240 is built to go anywhere and perform everywhere.
