| Not for the faint of heart, but certainly for
the enthusiastic and adventurous, is this multi-feed dish configuration. Taking advantage of
a fixed dish set-up, this configuration allows reception across at least a
35° azimuth arc in a typical US lower 48 state
location.
This 180cm (6') Offset Ku-band Antenna with
multi-feed:
- Provides a huge amount of signal when
compared to typical consumer installation
- Extra signal results in minimal
weather-related outages common on smaller antennas
This antenna is installed at Skyvision in
Fergus Falls, MN, receiving 12 Ku-band satellites from 107.3° W
to 79.0° W including:
- 107.3 Anik F1R
- 103.0 AMC-1
- 101.0 AMC-2 & 4
- 99.0 Galaxy 16
- 97.0 Galaxy 19
- 95.0 Galaxy 3C
- 93.0 Galaxy 25
- 91.0 Galaxy 17
- 89.0 Galaxy 28
- 87.0 AMC-3
- 83.0 AMC-9
- 79.0 AMC-5
Two of these antennas are capable of covering
the 129° W
to 72.0° W orbital positions from most US locations.
The first two images at the right show a
front and side view of the dish, multi-feed assembly and LNBs. The bottom
image shows the use of two 8-way DiSEqC switches.
