3.8 m Prime Focus Antenna System
The Patriot 3.8 meter antenna is manufactured in the United States and is the symbol of quality in the antenna industry. It
features a variety of mounts and a solid aluminum reflector which is powder coated for superior protection against the
elements. Stainless steel hardware is also available. This antenna is excellent for Broadcast, Educational, SMATV, CATV,
and Headend Applications.
The 3.8 meter prime focus reflector consists of 16 draw die formed petals and achieves a .020" surface accuracy. The
contoured petals with matched radial beams and hub assembly ensure easy installation without field alignment. This antenna
is competitively priced for the broadcast and cable industry and complete turnkey systems are available.

Patriot Meter Ku-Band Cost Efficient Offset Antenna System
Patriot Antennas have superior surface accuracy. The 1.2, 1.5, and 1.8 meter reflectors are precision single piece
reflectors produced in high volume utilizing precision draw dies. Patriot reflectors are randomly checked for R.M.S. accuracy
with dial indicator check fixtures. All mounting holes are die pierced for uniform accuracy. The feed boom assembly is
matched for either DBS or linear LNBF applications. The dish structures have been wind tunnel tested by Aeronautical
Research Laboratories (ARL).
Patriot Antennas have superior corrosion resistance. All reflector and mount parts are produced from dual sided
galvanized steel. Reflector and mount parts are sealed and powder coated with U.V. inhibited polyester-based finishes that
are baked onto the metal. Mounting hardware is treated with DACROTIZED and salt spray tested.
Patriot Antennas are designed to weather the storm. All of the antenna mounts are designed to withstand wind forces in
excess of 100 mph. Patriot metal antennas will uniformly expand and contract with temperature changes.
