The 3.7 Meter Transportable Trailer-Mounted SATCOM Antenna is designed for temporary satellite communication sites that require a larger reflector to be relocated between operating locations. The published product image shows the multi-section reflector in its stowed configuration. Operating band, receive or transmit function, polarization, feed network, pointing and control method, outdoor-unit interface, transport envelope and environmental limits are configured and confirmed for each project rather than assumed from the reflector diameter alone.



Transportable SATCOM Platform

A 3.7 m Reflector for Relocatable Satellite Communication Sites

This system is positioned between compact flyaway or roof-mounted terminals and permanently installed earth-station antennas. It provides a 3.7-meter reflector on a transportable trailer-mounted platform for projects that need to move the antenna between sites while retaining a larger aperture. The final RF and mechanical configuration is defined around the actual link, transport and operating requirements.


Published aperture: 3.7 meter

Platform: transportable trailer-mounted antenna

Shown condition: multi-section reflector in stowed position

Configuration: confirmed against project requirements

System Scope

What Must Be Engineered Around the 3.7 m Reflector

Reflector diameter is only one part of a transportable SATCOM terminal. A usable project configuration also requires the feed, RF path, pointing arrangement, outdoor-unit load, electrical interfaces, transport limits and site conditions to be defined together.




Reflector and Stow Geometry

Confirm deployed dimensions, stowed dimensions, panel deployment method, support structure, leveling arrangement and clearance around the antenna during operation.




Operating Band and Link Function

State the exact uplink and downlink frequency ranges, receive-only or transmit/receive function, satellite service and required RF performance targets.




Feed and Polarization

Define linear or circular polarization, single- or dual-polarized operation, port arrangement, feed interface and any required OMT, polarizer, filter or diplexer functions.




Transport and Chassis Interface

Provide towing, axle, road envelope, permitted mass, center-of-gravity, tie-down, braking, lighting and local registration constraints for the destination market.




Pointing and Control

Confirm manual, motorized or automatic acquisition requirements, axis travel, pointing resolution, position feedback, controller interface and any beacon or modem inputs.




Site and Environmental Limits

Define operating and survival wind conditions, temperature, humidity, rain, dust, altitude, terrain, deployment surface and available electrical power.

FAQ

3.7 m Transportable Antenna Questions

Is this a 4.5 m vehicle-mounted antenna?+

The live product title and published product image identify a 3.7 Meter Transportable Trailer Mounted Antenna. The final quotation should use the approved product name and drawing rather than relying on the older URL wording.

Which frequency bands does this model support?+

The current product record does not publish a model-specific band or frequency range. Provide the exact receive and transmit ranges so the reflector-feed combination, interfaces and associated microwave components can be reviewed.

Does the antenna operate while the trailer is moving?+

This product is described as transportable and deployable for field operation. It should be treated as a stationary terminal after setup unless an approved specification explicitly includes communication on the move.

Are gain, wind speed and setup time available?+

Those values are not published on the current product record. They should be stated in the model datasheet or approved project specification after the feed, control, trailer and environmental configuration is fixed.

Can Dolph provide the feed and waveguide components?+

Dolph’s published scope includes microwave feedhorns, antenna feeder networks, OMTs, filters, diplexers, polarizers and waveguide components. The supplied items and performance values must be listed in the project quotation.

Is the complete antenna ISO certified?+

The published model sheets use different band labels. The RF tables for all four models show Ku-band linear values, while the feature lists and option headings identify additional feeds. The exact feed, polarization, interfaces and Rx/Tx frequencies should therefore be fixed in the quotation and approved drawing.

Published Band References

  • 1.2 m: “Ka-Band Option” heading; Ku-band RF table; Ku and Ka feed systems listed.
  • 1.5 m: “C-Band Option” heading; Ku-band RF table; Ku and Ka feed systems listed.
  • 1.8 m: “C-Band Option” heading; Ku-band RF table; Ku and Ka feed systems listed.
  • 2.4 m: L, C, X, Low Ku and Ka option ranges listed; Ku-band RF table published.

Engineering Confirmation

State the required receive and transmit frequency ranges, polarization, satellite service, feed interface, BUC/LNB arrangement and controller functions. Where a published source contains a formatting ambiguity—such as the 1.5 m transmit insertion-loss entry shown as “05”—the intended value should be confirmed in writing rather than assumed.

System Operation

From Vehicle Integration to Satellite Acquisition

A driveaway terminal is not selected by reflector diameter alone. Roof structure, RF chain, controller logic, power, cabling and operating environment must work as one system.

STEP 01

Check the Vehicle Envelope

Confirm mounting base, roof reinforcement, payload, cable routes, stowed dimensions and operating clearance.

STEP 02

Deploy the Reflector

The controller drives azimuth, elevation and polarization from the stowed position into the operating range.

STEP 03

Initialize Direction Data

Integral sensors support pointing. The 2.4 m sheet additionally lists GPS and an electronic compass.

STEP 04

Acquire the Satellite

Published modes include Beacon/DVB on the 1.2–1.8 m models and DVB-S, DVB-S2 and CW beacon functions on the 2.4 m model.

STEP 05

Verify the RF Link

Confirm signal peak, polarization, RF interfaces, BUC/LNB operation and the project-specific acceptance criteria.

Technical FAQ

Common Configuration Questions

01Are all frequency bands available on every reflector size?
No. The published RF tables show Ku-band values for all four sizes, but additional feed references differ by model. Confirm the final band, exact frequencies and feed interfaces in the quotation and approved drawing.
02Is a driveaway antenna the same as a flyaway antenna?
No. A driveaway antenna is integrated with a vehicle and deploys from the vehicle-mounted base. A flyaway antenna is transported in cases and assembled or deployed on a ground support at the operating location.
03Does auto acquisition mean continuous satellite tracking?
Not necessarily. These data sheets describe auto acquisition and pointing functions for a deployed terminal. Continuous tracking of moving LEO or MEO satellites is a different requirement and should not be assumed from the driveaway specifications.
04Are the BUC and LNB included in the published weights?
The published total weights are stated as “without BUC.” The 2.4 m packing list also does not identify a BUC or LNB as standard packed items. Confirm the outdoor RF equipment and mounting arrangement separately.
05Which model includes a published mounting drawing?
The current 2.4 m data sheet includes a mounting-base layout and a stowed/operating-envelope drawing. Vehicle integration should use the complete drawing and a structural review rather than the summary dimensions alone.
06What should be checked before final model selection?
At minimum: exact Rx/Tx frequencies, polarization, link budget, required gain and G/T, BUC/LNB arrangement, vehicle roof dimensions and payload, power supply, acquisition method, operating environment and the required acceptance documents.

Combined C and Ku band antenna feed network for satellite dish integration

Feed Configuration Is Part of the Antenna Order

The C/Ku receive tables use WR-229 CPR and WR-75 CPR interfaces. L-band, X-band, multi-feed or other project-specific receive paths should be confirmed with the antenna rather than assumed from the C/Ku table.

Dolph’s custom antenna feed systems cover feed horns, OMTs, filters, diplexers, polarizers and rotary joints. For complete assemblies, see the antenna feeder networks.

For multi-band planning, read how to integrate multiple frequency bands in an antenna feed network. For installation work, see how to connect a waveguide feed to a dish antenna.
