Table of Contents
Overview
The RF systems of the radome allow it to fulfill multiple operating modes:
* Radio astronomy telescope (receive-only on 1420 MHz)
* Satellite uplink (half-duplex on 440 MHz)
* Amateur radio (half-duplex on 440 MHz, 1296 MHz, and others)
Feeds
Each operating mode of the radome uses a different feed, which is an antenna that mounts onto the dish. The feeds are designed to have a common mounting system and compatible electrical interface so that they can be quickly swapped.
TODO: Link mechanical specification for standard feed mounting system
TODO: Document electrical connections for standard feed control/power interface
