The device’s coaxial receive channel offers a high current rating of 2A at 24VDC, enabling it to power the antenna’s LNB and servo motors without the need for additional slip rings.
The central transmit channel has a frequency range of 29-31GHz, with an average power rating in excess of 50W, a typical insertion loss of just 0.5dB and a maximum VSWR of 1.7:1. The receive channel can handle frequencies of up to 3GHz at an average microwave power of 1W, and its typical VSWR and insertion loss are specified as 1.5:1 and 0.25dB, respectively.
The AM28RJD is fabricated from lightweight aluminium with an iridite finish. To save space, right-angle waveguide bends are used on the transmit channel, resulting in overall dimensions of just 36.0×90.3mm, with a 50mm-diameter UBR320 bulkhead flange as standard.
Other rotary-joint configurations and sizes are available on request.
