8.10 System Constellation and Communication
Parameters
The Constellation, Band and Polarization parameters suitable for your specific system are
factory preconfigured.
ATTENTION!!
It is critical that the system configuration is appropriate for
the RF Feed installed in the ADE. Do not modify these parameters unless you
have modified the physical configuration of the antenna and it is now a
different system type.
To configure the constellation type and satellite specifications:
1. From the
Operation Screen
, open the
Config
menu and select
System Type
. The
System Type
dialog box appears.

– Future option. 4-8 GHz Band, non-military, long-distance radio
telecommunications.
X
– Future option. 8-12 GHz Band, known as extended AM broadcast band, also
used for military communication satellites.
Ka
– Future option. 26.5 – 40 GHz Band, allows higher bandwidth communication,
also used for military aircrafts.
