Above Deck Unit (ADU)
The SAILOR 900 Ka ADU is a 103 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 (plus skew) and can be used in environments with elevations of -25° to +
125°. The ADU weighs 126 kg and is powered by the ACU. The ADU is protected by a
radome.
All communication between the ADU and the ACU passes through a single standard
50 Ohm cable (with N connector) through the rotary joint. No cable work is required inside
the radome.
