1. The communication system is changing drastically
and there is a need for a safe communication
system especially for easy and economical satellite
earth station antennas that normally range from a
sub meter to usually 5 meters in diameter.
dipole antennas
2. Care should be taken while selecting the Earth Station Antennas
and must check these earth station antennas against risk of damage
or any kind of destruction whether natural or an artificial destruction
Therefore, in this article we shall learn about the precautions and the
security measures that we should adopt in case of earth station
antennas and also understand the how to install Antenna Control
Unit
3. The earth station antennas that are mounted ground
communication equipment are most probable to risks This dipole
antennas is because the earth station antennas that are mounted on
the ground or on plains have to face the natural damages in the form
of strong winds or may be any type of intentional man made attack
4. Now, talking about the Antenna Control Unit, the Antenna Control
Unit must be installed below the decks in such a way that its position
should have good ventilation; it should be dry and should have an
easy access Basically, the Antenna Control Unit (ACU) is usually
installed with the help of two fixing brackets supplied
5. The following are the steps that must be followed while installing
the Antenna Control Unit (ACU) * First of all, the installation site
must be found out keeping in mind the desired objectives
6. * With the help of the screws, the mounting brackets are fixed to the
sides of the Antenna Control Unit * The next step is place to the
Antenna Control Unit in the same position where it has to be installed
7. * Now, the cables are connected to the rear of the Antenna Control
Unit * With the help of a pencil mark the four hole positions, with two
holes on each side for fixing the mounting brackets
8. * Drill the four holes as marked earlier Finally, fix the Antenna
Control Unit with the help of the screws
