Product details

Product Overview

The RFSE100MAC (Ka band) and RFSE095MUF (Ku band) are receive-only ESA terminals that capture and parse wireless satellite signals and, in conjunction with a set-top box, convert them into a signal format recognized by the set-top box. The antenna aperture adopts a fully electronic-steering phased array with an integrated design that combines the phased-array receiver sub-array, beacon receiver, WiFi module, frequency conversion module, inertial navigation positioning, ACU main control board and heat-sink components in one compact unit.

Terminal Features

  • High sensitivity: high receiving sensitivity captures weak signals and adapts to a variety of complex reception environments

  • Wide receiving band: receives signals in different frequency bands to achieve a variety of communication tasks

  • Small size and light weight: easy to carry and install, suitable for various mobile communication scenarios

  • Strong anti-interference: phased-array beamforming and beam pointing effectively suppress multipath interference and improve the received signal-to-noise ratio
