DRA-Ka09 is K-band & Ka-band double reflector antenna (Cassegrain antenna) designed for transmitting radio relay stations (RRS), MVDS / MMDS broadcasting systems. Antenna is performed as a single block with flange for transmitter or receiver connecting. Using one or several radio relay links allows to transfer the broadcast signal from/to remote TV (cable) operators or from/to remote head-end without wires. Thus, the current transmission method is especially useful in difficult terrain in the service area where cable laying is impossible.
DRA-Ka09 K/Ka-band double reflector directional antenna is a high-performance Cassegrain solution designed for MVDS/MMDS broadcasting systems and professional radio relay links. Operating across 25-40 GHz (18-40 GHz by request), it delivers 41 dBi antenna gain, narrow 1° beamwidth in both horizontal and vertical planes and excellent cross-polarization isolation of 25 dB, ensuring precise and reliable broadcasting performance.
Engineered as a single block, the DRA-Ka09 antenna features a flange interface for seamless connection to transmitters and receivers. Its robust construction makes it a cost-effective alternative to wired infrastructure, particularly in regions where cable laying is not feasible. With WR-28 or C-320 waveguide compatibility, this high gain directional antenna integrates easily into professional DVB-S2, DVB-T2 and microwave broadcasting infrastructures.
Thanks to its optimized radiation pattern and low side-lobe levels (-12 dB), the DRA-Ka09 antenna guarantees stable signal transmission even over long distances. It is suitable for installation on vertical pipes with a diameter of 50-100 mm and is covered with a durable weatherproof canvas for protection in outdoor environments.
