The SAILOR 600 Viasat Ka ADU is a 65 cm stabilized tracking antenna, consisting of a
suspended antenna with a standard global RF configuration. It is stabilized by heavy duty
vibration dampers in 3-axis and can be used in environments with elevations of -28° to +
120°. The ADU weighs 38 kg and is powered by the ACU. The ADU is protected by a
radome. All communication between the ADU and the ACU passes through the a single
standard 50 Ohm cable (with N connector) through the rotary joint. No cable work is
required inside the radome.
