FM-130-S

Product catalog summary
Overview: The FM-130-S is a specialized, low-maintenance antenna system designed for high performance and reliability, particularly in controlling medium earth orbit satellite fleets. It is currently used in the Galileo program's in-orbit validation phase.
Specifications: The system operates in the S-Band, with a shaped reflector of 13 meters in diameter, optimized for high efficiency. It is constructed from bonded aluminum panels and is designed to withstand harsh environments, with operational wind speeds up to 150 km/h and survival up to 200 km/h.
Key Features: The antenna system offers full-motion over two axes, high system availability due to subsystem redundancy, and a dual-channel monopulse tracking system. It is adaptable to frequency bands from L- to C-band (1 - 8 GHz).
System Performance: The antenna gain is 48.3 dBi at 2300 MHz, with a noise temperature of 83.5K at 5° elevation. It complies with ITU-S 580-6 and ITU-R S.465-5 radiation patterns. Tracking accuracy is 0.048° with no wind and 0.060° at 45 km/h gusting.
Antenna Optics: The system uses Cassegrain optics with a reflector surface accuracy of less than 0.7 mm RMS. It supports circular polarization for both transmission and reception.
Hub Characteristics: The hub provides space for RF equipment and is temperature controlled.
Axis Design: The system features a full-motion elevation over azimuth mount with triple backlash compensated drives. Elevation operational range is -1 to 181 degrees, and azimuth range is ± 360 degrees.
Environmental Conditions: The system operates in temperatures from -55°C to +65°C and can handle snow and ice loads up to 1000 kg. It is suitable for coastal and polar regions.
