Dual Beam Retrofit for 3.7 Meter
(12 ft.) Diameter Class Antennas

Specifically Designed for Small 12 ft. Size Antennas AFC's dual beam retrofit kit provides an economical alternative to installing multiple antennas for simultaneous reception of two adjacent 2 degree satellites. To accommodate headends anywhere and various satellite positions, feed separation is continuously variable from 1.9 to 6 degrees of arc. AFC's dual beam systems are designed specifically for AFC's PR-12 antenna or may be called out for other manufacturers' type antennas. Based on the theory of overmoded dielectric filled waveguide feeds, users can upgrade their feed to receive high quality 2 degree signals. The two feeds are free of any spurious effects, preserve polarization purity and optimize antenna pattern. Installation of a new dual beam retrofit upgrade kit requires the replacement of the legs and brackets of the feed support hardware. The retrofit kit comes furnished with all necessary hardware for a durable, weather-tight installation. The retrofit system provides isolation between beams better than 20 dB with a loss of only about 0.25 dB at 2 degrees. Cross-polar discrimination is typically better than 16 dB.

Features Simultaneous receives two 2-degree satellites on one antenna. Antennas may easily be retrofitted for 2-degrees in the field. Feed separation variable from 1.9 to 6 degrees of arc. Available for AFC, Prodeline, Microdyne, Patriot, Satellite Export, Comtech, DH, SA, or other manufacturers' antennas.
