Andrew has expanded its ValuLine range of terrestrial microwave antennas with the release of 0.2 meter, 0.3 m, 0.6 m, 0.8 m and 1.2 m diameter dual polarized low-profile antennas.

These new antennas are available for the seven, 13, 15, 18, 23, 26 and 38 GHz frequency bands. These dual polarized low-profile antennas are for short haul point-to-point communications where increased capacity requirements demand dual polarized capability.

The ValuLine low-profile antennas minimize visual impact in environmentally sensitive installations and also reduce tower windloading. The new antennas comply with European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standard EN300 833.

Orienting a satellite antenna, even a small one, takes some skill. Uplink antennas are particularly critical, as an improperly aimed uplink is likely to cause interference to other satellites. At IBC2006, Andrew Corp. showed an "auto-deploy" 1.2-meter antenna system that eliminates the need for trained installers or te

Andrew Corp. claims that at 800 millimeters (2.6 feet) in diameter, its new ValuLine III Next Generation terrestrial microwave antenna is more than 15 percent smaller than any other FCC Part 101, Category A compliant 11 GHz microwave antenna.
