8 to 18GHz Prime Focus Parabolic Antenna

 Prime Focus Parabolic Antenna 8-18GHz for Wideband Radar and Satellite

This product is a professional Parabolic Antenna with a prime focus front feed design. The antenna operates from 8GHz to 18GHz, covering X and Ku bands, and features a 500mm aperture reflector. As a Prime Focus Parabolic Antenna, the feed is positioned at the focal point in front of the parabolic reflector. This design provides high gain, strong directivity, long distance transmission, narrow beamwidth, and excellent focusing ability. The antenna offers single linear polarization. The structure is simple, making installation and alignment easy. The antenna features an SMA K type connector and is built for reliable operation.

This prime focus parabolic antenna delivers solid electrical performance across its wide operating range from 8GHz to 18GHz. The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is rated at 2.5, which is acceptable for this wide bandwidth. The gain is 25dB or higher, providing strong signal strength for demanding communication and radar tasks. The single linear polarization is suitable for many standard radar and communication systems. The wide frequency coverage from 8GHz to 18GHz means one antenna can handle tasks across X and Ku bands. The 500mm aperture provides a good balance between gain and physical size.

One clear strength of this Prime Focus Parabolic Antenna is its wide bandwidth coverage across X and Ku bands. It is widely used in satellite communication earth stations, broadcast television and radio, microwave long distance point to point links, weather remote sensing, aerospace telemetry tracking and control, defense and military systems, field industrial and emergency communication, as well as educational and scientific research. The 25dB gain allows this antenna to work effectively over long distances. The wide bandwidth means users do not need to change antennas when operating across different frequency bands.

In practical use, this Prime Focus Parabolic Antenna handles professional communication and radar tasks very well. For satellite earth stations, it serves as a reliable wideband terminal antenna for X and Ku band operations. For radar systems, the high gain and narrow beam provide accurate target detection across a wide frequency range. For broadcast and communication links, the antenna delivers strong signals or receives distant signals clearly. The 500mm aperture is compact enough for many installation scenarios. The SMA K connector offers a precision connection point. It stands as a solid example of a well designed prime focus parabolic antenna for wideband X and Ku band applications from 8GHz to 18GHz.
