NewSwift CF 1.2, 1.5 and 1.8 Antennas

The 'NewSwift CF' motorised antenna system is a highly compact, lightweight, integrated vehicle mountable satellite terminal designed for rapid deployment. Featuring a specially shaped offset fed antenna manufactured in carbon fibre, the 'NewSwift' unique design can also house a redundant or phase combined RF package, mounted within the antenna pod.

The compact design minimises vehicle roof real-e state requirements. Since the whole antenna (including the equipment housing or ‘Pod’) rotates the need for an Azimuth waveguide rotary joint is eliminated. This minimises post HPA waveguide loss which in turn maximises TX EIRP.

The Ku feed includes a waveguide transfer switch to enable instant 90degree polarisation shift during manual satellite acquisition.
