DBS Feed Install

To allow us to Transmit in the DBS Band (17 Ghz) we have to Install the 'DBS Feed' to our TTAC1 Antenna

Here's some photos of that Installation

Lifting the Feed

Attaching the Lifting Gear to the Quadropod Leg.

The Feed Installed

The 45 degree FSS (Frequency Selective Suface) plate reflects the 17 Ghz signal up to the Sub Reflector

It is transparent at Ku Band so our nominal Uplink (from below the Plate) passes straight through it.
