1.2M FLY-AWAY ANTENNA - Download spec sheets

The UC-120-FWA Flyaway antenna is designed to meet international performance requirements for DSNG applications and is available in Ku band frequencies.
The portable antenna consists of a two piece segmented Glass Fiber Reinforced Molded reflector and all aluminium tripod base mounts. UC-120-FWA is a durable, corrosion resistant antenna with superior stability and high performance under wind loading conditions. The SMC compression molded reflector surface provides good side lobes and cross-polarization performance, with excellent repeatability. Reflector is reinforced with aluminium and composite ribs to maintain a precise shape
and guaranteed performance. All screws, nuts and washers are stainless steel.
