47GHz EQUIPMENT - TRIPOD MOUNTED
A sturdy camera tripod supports the 10 inch (25cm) diameter dish. This
is has a cassegrain feed. At frequencies in the millimetre microwave bands,
the need for a sturdy and stable antenna support is more important than
at lower microwave frequencies since the dish beamwidths are usually very
narrow. Thus even a mild breeze can cause problems if the dish heading
is disturbed!
At these frequencies it is advisable to set up dish alignment on a lower
band, 10GHz for example.
