Advent Communications Is Swift With New Antenna Advent Communications has an enhanced version of its popular 1.5m and 1.8m NewSwift antenna to support high power C- and and Ku-band RF and HD system requirements. To be shown at IBC 2008, the enhanced NewSwift antenna will have a larger electronics pod that will enable it to accommodate a pair of 400W C- or Ku-band TWTAs, either as 1+1 phase combined or 1:1 redundant pairs, or a 1:1 redundant pair of 750W C or Ku-band TWTAs, or a 1:1 redundant pair of outdoor SSPAs. The NewSwift’s compact and lightweight design is styled to meet the operational requirements of the antenna and vehicle onto which it will be mounted. A follow on development for the enhanced 1.5m and 1.8m NewSwift antenna will incorporate a new feedarm and interchangeable multi-band feed cartridge assemblies which will enable the customer to change the antenna operating frequency very quickly. Advent Communications' booths are 1.A61 and OE220. For further information, select the Advent graphic below...
