Antenna Systemby Venus

Indonesian manufacturer PT Subur Semesta (mainly known by its brand name

Venus) has developed aninnovative mesh antennasystem that is perfectly suitable for C band reception and can be set up quite easily thanks to itsclever design.

What makes this antenna different isthe idea to divide the twelve panels of the dish into just four segments. So whatyou get are four antenna quarters, eachof which consists of three pre -fabricatedpanels. Naturally, this speeds up assem-bly no end.

The product comes with an assem-bly guide which allowed us to have the

The company wants to get afoothold in their home marketrst, before start ing to offerother sizes of this antennaline for international marketsas well.

Like with all packagesfrom PT Subur Semesta thisantenna also comes with thepatented Venus water-level.Thanks to its integrated mag-nets it can simply be attachedto a horizontal or vertical posi-tion of the mounting bracketsand the scale will show thecurrent angle. This takes outthe horror of ne-tuning theantenna position.

We used a 2-in-1 LNBmount for our reception test.This mount, or even a 4-in-1mount for four C band LNBsis also available from PTSubur Semesta. These LNBmounts are ideal for Indo-

nesian conditions since theyallow receiving signals fromseveral positions with a singleantenna. The available optionsare: PALAPA C2 (113.0E) andTELKOM 1 (108.0E), or ASIA-SAT 3S (105.5E) and ASIASAT2 (100.5E), or all four of themat the same time.

Due to the countrys prox-imity to the equator very highelevation angles are requiredand this is why the antennais mounted on the mast end.With an elevation angle nearof 90 required in the regionany other mounting designwould not work anyway.

PT Subur Semestas meshantenna is manufacturedalmost fully automatically,

with only 15 percent of thetotal process requiring manualwork. This makes sure thequality stays consistent andthe individual panels have anexact parabolic shape. Whencompared to a solid antennathis dish turns out to be onequal footing. By the way,the new mesh antenna comeswith almost the same hold-ing brackets and feed railsas PT Subur Semestas soliddishes.

The 7-feet size was chosenby PT Subur Semesta for areason: In some regions of Indonesia a 6-foot antenna

just wont do it, while ninefeet are a little too much for
