Edge ODUspe Antennas
Eclipse Edge antennas are shielded high-performance antennas. They are available
for frequency bands 7 to 23 GHz, and in sizes from 0.3m to 1.2m, depending on the
frequency band.
The antennas are supplied with a circular waveguide feed-point, and without an ODU
mounting collar. The Edge ODUspe mounts directly onto the attachment point
normally used for fitting a standard rectangular waveguide interface.
Installing the ODUspe Antenna
Antennas must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions,
which are supplied with all antennas.
Before going to the site, check that you have the required installation tools as
recommended by the antenna manufacturer and that you have the data needed to
locate the antenna on the tower, and to set its polarization and initial pointing.
Antenna polarization is determined by the orientation of the ODUspe.
For supporting data on the installation of antennas, refer to the Aviat Networks Best
Practices Guide .
