Andrew Corporation Unveils the 6.5-Meter Dual-Reflector Earth Station Antenna.ORLAND PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 1999-- Meter-for-meter, the new 6.5-meter dual-reflector ESA 1. (architecture) ESA - Enterprise Systems Architecture. 2. (body) ESA - European Space Agency. gives the highest gain along with superior pattern performance Andrew Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ANDW) announced a 6.5-meter dual-reflector earth station antenna that supplies excellent performance for high-density data, voice communications networks and broadcast applications. The new antenna has a dual-reflector Gregorian optical system to give high gain and closely controlled pattern characteristics. Available with C- or Ku-band capabilities, the 6.5-m ESA includes several labor-saving features for reducing field installation time and costs. A self-aligning main reflector eliminates the need for field alignment. The 2-port circular receive and transmit C-band combiner can be field-switched from circular to linear polarization. "The antenna's dual reflector Gregorian optics system ensures that meter-for-meter, the 6.5-meter antenna, like all Andrew dual-reflector antennas, gives the highest gain along with superior pattern performance," said Dave Neubauer, product line manager for Andrew Corporation's earth station antennas. Andrew 6.5-meter ESAs are compliant with the following industry transmission standards: FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. 25.209 specifications from 1- to 180-degrees at C- and Ku-bands; Brasilsat, ASIASAT, EUTELSAT EUTELSAT European Telecommunications Satellite , APSTAR, and INTELSAT F-2 at C-band and E-3 at Ku-band. The 6.5-meter ESA's steel ground mount assembly is hot-dipped galvanized gal·va·nize tr.v. gal·va·nized, gal·va·niz·ing, gal·va·niz·es 1. To stimulate or shock with an electric current. 2. for extended product life. Stainless steel hardware provides maximum resistance against corrosion. The new antenna has a guaranteed wind survival factor of up to 125 mph (200 kph) in any operational position. A three-year warranty is included for all structural components. Modular equipment options available include anti-icing equipment, pressurization Pressurization generally refers to the application of pressure in a given situation or environment; and more specifically refers to the process by which atmospheric pressure is maintained in an isolated or semi-isolated atmospheric environment (for instance, in an aircraft, or systems, microprocessor steptrack control, and manual or motorizable mounts.
