Intelsat Antenna Pattern
The gain for an Intelsat antenna is determined from data stored in an external file, in a format commonly used by Intelsat. See Intelsat Antennas (Communications).
This antenna uses a rectangular coordinate system.

| Design Frequency |
This is the frequency of the antenna. The antenna design frequency is independent of the operational frequency of a transmitter, receiver, or radar. Changing the frequency of a transmitter, receiver, or radar does not update an embedded antenna's design frequency, nor vice versa. The design frequency is solely used at antenna configuration time to compute the antenna size from its max gain or beamwidth settings. A mismatch between signal frequency and antenna design frequency typically causes performance degradation. |
