Antennas and ODUspe Mounting
Antennas for direct mounting the ODUspe are available in diameters from 0.3m (1ft)
to 1.8m (6ft), depending on the frequency band. These antennas are high
performance, low profile shielded types from Andrew Corporation, and are supplied
without the normal rectangular waveguide feed. Instead there is simply a circular
feed-point that connects directly to the ODUspe, or to the ODUspe coupler unit, for
1+1 hot-standby configurations.
Each ODUspe is supplied with a collar plate for direct attachment to the antenna.
V or H polarization selection is made by rotating the ODU.
Antenna mounts are designed for use on industry-standard 115 mm OD (4.5 inch)
pipe-mounts.
