Mechanical Data Ø 2.4 M HP, HXP, SHXP Antennas: Material and Treatment

This document provides mechanical data for 2.4m HP, HXP, and SHXP antennas including dimensions, weight, interface details, alignment specifications, environmental tolerances, and wind load calculations. Key details are the antenna uses an aluminum reflector with galvanized steel components, weighs 170kg, has coarse azimuth adjustment of 50 degrees and fine adjustment of 5 degrees in both planes, and can withstand winds up to 70m/s.

Mechanical Data

2.4 m HP, HXP, SHXP antennas


Material and treatment
The antenna has a parabolic aluminium reflector with a shield for sidelobe suppression. The
reflector is spray painted. Standard colour is grey RAL7038. The mount and rear structure is
made of hot dip galvanised steel. All screws, nuts and washers are made hot dip galvanised
steel class 8.8. The antenna is supplied with a flexible radome. Depending on frequency band
the feed is made of brass or hot dip brazed aluminium.
For additional security and stability two optional support stays may be connected at the rim of
the reflector. Further information is given in the installation manual.

Environment
Wind
Survival rating without permanent deformation.
Wind speed up to 70 m/s and 25 mm radial ice.
Maximum deflection at 45 m/s is 0.1 o.
Temperature range -55 oC to +55 oC

Atmosphere
The antenna is designed to meet coastal and
industrial atmosphere with 100% relative humidity.

WIND
Antenna axis

Wind load
Wind effect on parabolic antennas and support
structures can be separated into two force
components and a twisting moment as shown.
The side axial and twisting moment forces are
maximum values exerted on the supporting
structure. In every case the value is the result of the
wind from the most critical direction.
