Superior Performance
Description
The Patriot 2.4 meter flyaway c-band antenna is designed for worldwide transmit and receive operation.  This lightweight portable antenna system consists of a dual-skin  inter-locking reflector and a quadpod base mount.  This results in an antenna with superior rigidity and high performance under wind loading conditions.

The unique shape and the accurate reflector surface provide good sidelobe and cross-polarization performance.  Repeatability is maintained with precision registration of the reflector segments and the feed support structure.

The 2.4 m flyaway antenna system is a derivative of Patriot's Intelsat and Eutelsat type-approved products and provides excellent performance that meets all international specifications.  The complete system, including a single feed, is packaged in six portable cases.
