Company and Product Information
Along With the Boss's Midi Favorites
Antennas for Communications' home page and starting point for jumping into other AFC documents and WWW information. Check out the Boss's Corner for midi music.
Products include satellite dish antennas, conical horns, radomes, microwave components and feed systems, ultra low loss waveguide called Tallguide ® and shelters. This is a good place to learn about AFC.
Radomes
The home page starting point for all radome information.
The data sheet describes the technology, size and performance of AFC's thin membrane wall, solid laminate wall and sandwich wall type dielectric radome product line.
Tabular description of radome sizes and outline dimensions.
describes radome performance for radome-enclosed antennas and radar and sidelobe compliance issues for satellite earth stations.
This document describes AFC's dielectric radome technology and its application to thin wall and sandwich wall dielectric radomes.
Typical 5.5-meter radome applications are general radar, weather radar, weather satellite, telemetry and satellite communications.Satellite Antennas
Technical specifications for AFC's satellite dish antennas from 0.7 to 7 meter diameter are presented in tabular form. The table also includes data on the CH-14, the worlds largest conical horn satellite antenna.
2.4, 3.0, 3.7, 5 and 7 meter diameter high wind, high performance, prime focus feed, Az/El pedestal, satellite dish antennas are presented in this data sheet.
2.4, 3, 3.7 and 5 meter diameter transportable antennas are described for C, Ku and special frequency band operation.
AFC's Ultra Light Cored, Offset, Panel Section, Unique Focal Length and Embedded Wire Anti-ice Antennas are reviewed.Conical Horn Antennas for
Point-to-Point Terrestrial CommunicationsTallguide ®, An Ultra Low Transmission Loss Waveguide
The home page starting point for all Tallguide ultra low transmission loss waveguide information.
Ultra low transmission loss waveguide called Tallguide ® is presented in this data sheet for common Tallguide ® (waveguide) frequency bands 8.2 to 110 Ghz.
Tallguide design rule tips are described for various waveguide runs from the transmitter to the antenna.
Distortion in waveguide is compared to Tallguide linearity taking into account dispersion and higher order waveguide mode excitation. Tallguide is shown to be 3 to 6 times more linear than standard waveguide.
Microwave Components, Antenna Feeds,
Multi-Satellite and Dual Beam Feeds
This data sheet summarizes AFC's commercial satellite dish feed product line.
The multi-satellite feed system is capable of looking at up to 7 satellites simultaneously over 18 degrees of orbital arc. It may be used on AFC satellite dish antennas or antennas manufactured by other companies.Custom Shelters
This brochure describes AFC's custom shelters for specialized applications. Typical examples are transportable uplinks and "quick-reaction" secure (TEMPEST quiet) airborne deliverable shelter modules.
