The motorized pedestal provides high-output torque with ultra-low backlash through use of two-stage reduction gearboxes and brushless DC motors. For added reliability, the pedestal is designed with servo amplifiers that offer protection for over-current, voltage and temperature. CPI also offers a range of mounting options for integration of customer-provided RF elements on the pedestal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Antenna Systems Division (ASD) of Communications &amp; Power Industries (CPI) has introduced a GSA-39KaXY ground antenna providing the high pointing accuracy and reliability to support High-Altitude Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS) applications, the company stated.
