Vertex Cabin
• Each Feed is Tied into the Vertex Cabin Except the L-Band
• The Size and Receiver Weights Determine the Mounting Method for the Feeds and Receivers

Receiver Mounting
• Three Options for Receiver Mounting– Fully Fixed to Vertex Cabin– Fixed to Feed and Fixed to Vertex Cabin– Fixed only to Feed

Receiver MountingQ and Ka
• The Receiver is Directly Mounted to the Feed Tower.
• The Feed Holds No Structural Load
• The Receiver is Attached to Side of Vertex Cabin
• No Major Stress Concentrations

Receiver MountingK and Ku
• Feed Attached to the Feed Tower
• Receiver Attached to the Vertex Cabin Wall
• No Significant Stress in Feed

Keeping the Feeds DryRadome
• Sealing The Feeds– All Feeds or Feed Towers are Sealed with
Radome to Keep Moisture Out• Types of Radome
– Esscolam 10 for L, S & C– Gore RA7906 for X, Ku & K
