This large 180 cm six-panel satellite dish is designed for stationary reception of satellite signals in both the C-band and Ku-band frequency ranges. Its generous reflector area provides high gain and is particularly suitable for receiving weaker satellite signals or positions where a smaller dish cannot provide sufficient signal margin.
The reflector consists of six separate sheet-metal sections that are assembled at the installation site. This sectional construction makes the antenna considerably easier to transport and handle than a similarly sized one-piece reflector.
The dish has a diameter of 180 cm, a focal length of 68.2 cm and an F/D ratio of 0.38. Its specified gain is 35.89 dB at 4.0 GHz for C-band and 45.54 dB at 12.5 GHz for Ku-band.
A fixed stand is included for permanent installation. The antenna can be adjusted between 0 and 90 degrees in elevation and through 360 degrees in azimuth before being locked in position.
The LNB and LNB holder are not included and must be purchased separately. A compatible LNB holder is available under product number 3637.

🔧 Installation
The six reflector sections are assembled at the installation site and attached to the supporting structure. The fixed stand must be installed on a stable, level and suitably engineered base.
The reflector panels must be assembled and aligned very carefully. Uneven joints or an incorrectly formed reflector surface can reduce antenna gain and reception quality.
Once assembled, the dish is adjusted in azimuth and elevation towards the required satellite. A suitable LNB or feed and a compatible LNB holder must be installed separately according to the required frequency band.
Because of the antenna’s size, weight and large wind-catching area, the stand must be securely anchored. The foundation, anchors and fixings must be designed for the local ground conditions, wind exposure and applicable building requirements.
Professional installation is strongly recommended.
