AvL offers several 2.4m motorized flyaway antennas. Antenna configurations include axi-symmetric and offset reflectors, tripods and quadpods, and a case-mounted positioner. The antennas pack into four or more cases depending on configuration and options selected, assemble quickly and are operational in minutes. The antennas operate in C, X, Ku or Ka bands and are field changeable.

Key features:
  • Packs into four or more cases depending on options selected
  • 2.4m segmented carbon fiber reflector 
  • Standard 2-port Precision Ku-band feed (standard cross-pol comp.)
  • Zero Backlash AvL Cable Drive
  • Elevation over azimuth mount geometry
  • Polarization adjustment by motorized rotation of linear feeds
  • Fully compliant for FCC and Intelsat; Eutelsat compliance optional
  • MIL-STD-188-164A compliant

Options include:
  • AvL 2020 case-based positioner, AvL 2020-T case-packed tripod positioner or high wind positioner with an AvL Cable Drive azimuth positioner and elevation machine screw
  • 2-port L-band feed
  • 2- or 4-port C-band feed (CP or LP)
  • 2-port C-band troposcatter feed
  • 2-port X-band feed with optional Rx/Tx reject filter kit
