    This document provides product specifications for the Andrew Corporation Type 244 2.4 m Ku-Band Dual Optics RxTx Antenna System. The dual optics design provides superior cross-polarization discrimination for the Eutelsat satellite system. Key specifications include an effective aperture of 2.4 m, operating frequencies of 13.75-14.5 GHz (Tx) and 10.7-12.75 GHz (Rx), and gains of 49.3 dBi (Tx) and 47.8 dBi (Rx). The antenna is designed to withstand wind speeds up to 125 mph and temperatures from -50°C to 80°C.
