The model AN8-074R
antenna
Each satellite modem at a customer site requires an antenna and
radio assembly to communicate with both the system satellite and
the Network Operations Control Center (NOCC). The antenna is
connected to the satellite modem by an intra-facility link (IFL)
consisting of two cables: a transmit cable and a receive cable.
The Hughes model AN8-074R antenna is designed for Ka-band
applications. Figure 1 shows the AN8-074R assembled, with a
radio assembly.
