Andrew Introduces Pipe Mountable 3.7-Meter Earth Station Antenna.ORLAND PARK Or·land Park A village of northeast Illinois, a residential and manufacturing suburb of Chicago. Population: 53,300. , Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 1999-- Pipe Mountable, Enclosure-Free Earth Station Antenna Cuts Costs Not Performance Andrew Corporation Andrew Corporation is an American multinational producer of communications devices. Andrew is a global designer, manufacturer, and supplier of communications equipment, services, and systems. introduced a 3.7-meter pipe mountable earth station antenna. The new antenna can be securely mounted onto a customer-supplied 6-inch (6.5-in O.D.) nominal pipe instead of a pedestal. The pipe mountable 3.7-m ESA 1.

The new design eliminates the equipment enclosure, enabling the antenna to be installed in areas where space is limited. If required, outdoor RF equipment can be attached easily to the antenna's mounting frame in close proximity to the antenna feed system. "The pipe mountable 3.7-meter antenna gives the same overall performance as the pedestal mounted version at a reduced price," said Dave Neubauer, Andrew Corporation's product line manager, earth station antennas. "It is a cost-effective choice for sites where space is at a premium." The pipe mountable 3.7-meter ESA is available with C-, X-, Ku-, and K-band feed systems. Intelsat and Eutelsat type approvals have been applied for and are pending. The new antenna gives superior electrical performance by using advanced dual reflector reflector: see telescope. technology with a two-piece precision-spun aluminum reflector to provide accurate surface contour, high gain, and closely controlled pattern characteristics. The easily installed pipe mount allows for non critical foundation orientation.
