The Corotor II+ and Corotor II+ Wideband are designed for systems which require reception of both C and Ku-Band signals. The Corotor II+ is primarily for reception of satellites in North America while the Corotor II+ Wideband is used throughout Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Both feedhorns feature Chaparral's patented probe for C-Band, reception and a unique low-loss dipole antenna for KU-Band reception. The dipole is virtually invisible to the C-Band probe, resulting in superior C-Band performance while improving Ku-Band illumination. Both the probe and the dipole are controlled by a Chaparral servo motor, providing infinite skew adjustments and quick selection of horizontal and vertical polarization.
The Corotor II+ receives linear C-Band signals in the 3.7-4.2 GHz range and linear Ku-Band signals in the 11.7-12.7 GHz range. The Corotor II+ Wideband is for reception of circular and linear C-Band signals in the 3.4-4.2 GHz range and linear Ku-Band signals in the 10.95-12.75 GHz range. The Corotor II+ Wideband features a new low loss dielectric plate. The new dielectric plate provides a lower noise temperature and improved cross polarization.
The Corotor II+ features chip-resistant powder paint, waterproof gaskets and connectors for protection against the environment. Built in the Chaparral tradition of quality, the Corotor II+ is the ideal choice for systems which require reliable performance.
