HITEC’s Limited Motion (LM) antennas are low maintenance and future proof antenna systems available in different diameters from 6m to 13m, designed for robust, reliable and high-performance operation for geostationary applications. The LM antennas can accommodate different feed systems and can operate at different frequencies, depending on the application.
Typical applications: HTS gateway, TT&C, IOT for GEO and GSO satellites
The LM-06 antenna system is a low maintenance and future proof antenna system designed for robust, reliable and high-performance operation for geostationary applications. The LM-06 can accommodate different feed systems and can operate at different frequencies, depending on the application.The reflector, 6.8m in diameter in a dual shaped Cassegrain configuration for high efficiency, is constructed of precision bonded aluminum panels. The backup structure consists of aluminum framework trusses, reinforced by a structural plenum. This configuration ensures optimum rigidity and surface accuracy under self-weight and environmental effects and can accommodate the optional de-icing system.The antenna hub has generous interior dimensions (W x H x D: 1.7m x 1.5m x 1.1m) and allows placing up to 30 units of 19” racks and installing all converters and high-power amplifiers right next to the feed. Easy access to the equipment is ensured by a large opening covered by roller shutters.The LM-06 is equipped with the HITEC Luxembourg Antenna Control Unit HACU-1000, providing program track functionality as a baseline.
