When we make a tool for forming our antennas, it must go through a rigorous certification process. The prototype antennas are then verified with theodolites or photogrammetry to ensure their accuracy. These instruments check for ripples, flat spots, humps and other flaws that degrade an antenna's performance.
When you start with a good antenna, you need a mount that compliments it. If the mount distorts the final shape of the antenna, then the antenna will not perform correctly. We design each of our antennas and mounts with 3D CAD systems and solids modeling, verifying all aspects of the mount structure to minimize antenna distortion and provide the maximum structural support for wind loading.
Andersen Manufacturing fabricates all antennas from aluminum. The
properties
of aluminum, make it an ideal material for satellite antennas. Aluminum
has superior corrosion resistance over steel, will not break down under
UV rays like fiberglass, or fall apart like mesh does when ice and snow
freezes in it. Andersen has one of the largest powder coat finishing
facilities
in the Northwest, that puts the finish on all True Focus products.
From the beginning, we have issued a challenge. Compare one of ours side by side with one of theirs. Let the best performance determine why you should always buy True Focus. The True Focus Challenge.
