The antenna Outdoor Unit 

(ODU) 

The antenna unit is composed of the antenna element,  
high-power and low-noise amplifier systems, and a mechanical 
tracking system housed in the radome. 

Both the Class 10 and Class 11 ODUs are 2-axis antennas 
intended for land-mobile use. 

Connection to the ODU is made by a TNC connector. The single 
coaxial cable carries L-band RX and TX, power, and tracking 
information. 

Physical dimensions
