- Description
- A feed window which serves as a protective and transparent barrier that shields the internal components of the antenna while permitting the necessary signals to pass through. Its' function is to seal the feed horn and as a part of the feed, the feed window needs to be replaced in time to prevent aging and potential opportunity for water or environmental elements to reach the copper feed and cause significant damage. The antenna feed film is made of polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE material, which cannot dry or crack under long-term sunlight. PTFE also has electrical properties, high resistance to extreme temperatures, and low loss at microwave frequencies.
