Company Confidential Type Specification The EA7401M is the latest offering from Easat and uses production techniques developed from cellular radio technology to provide excellent RF performance. Adopting technology from the antenna which is being supplied to the FAA' as part of the ASDE-X program, the 'M' designation depicts the EA7401M's ability to operate with single, dual or dual diversity magnetron based transceiver systems. The antenna offers sub 0.33° azimuth 3dB beamwidth giving excellent range and azimuth resolution and provides operation with 40ns pulse width without pulse distortion. The antenna also offers zero squint with frequency, making it particularly suitable for use with frequency agile and frequency diverse systems. Offering a high standard specification, the antenna includes circular polarisation for weather penetration and inverse cosec2 beam shaping to minimise effects of rain clutter. Additionally, coverage down to -40° below the horizon, low weight and low noise make the EA7401M ideal for mounting on top of Visual Control Rooms. Key features include:  Parallel feed array – no squint with frequency  Low cost of ownership  Sub 0.33º azimuth beamwidth  Low wind resistance 2  Circular polarisation and Inverse Cosec beamshape  Wide bandwidth General & Mechanical Environmental Type Linear Array 150 km/hr (operational) Wind Speed Nominal dimensions (m) 7 x 0.25 x 0.5 240 km/hr (survival) Total weight (incl. turning gear & 350 Temperature -30ºC - + 60ºC motor) (kg) Stand Weight (steel) (kg) 100 Humidity Up to 100% Height incl.
