LNB mounting on the POTY::
The easiest way to mount the LNB to the POTY is by drilling a 22mm hole in the plastic cap on the front side of the LNB and push the POTY waveguide inside.
Push the POTY al the way until it meets the metal horn inside.
By rotating the POTY you get the flex out of the cap and the waveguide stays in position.
With silicon sealant the LNB get fixed and watertight.
The dish mount is placed just after the Patch reflector, not on the LNB!

After some experiments we construct some dielectric lenses you can print yourself from PLA.
Fill 100%, It is better to print more at the same time otherwise you have problems with the heat built up in the small top cylinder. Now it has time to cool down before the new layer. Performance is equal with the milled PA lens. Download Small model f/d 0,4 Download Large model f/d 0,5 Download Final model f/d 0,6 |
