RFbandeja

RFbandeja is a term that refers to a type of microwave antenna often used in point-to-point communication systems. It is characterized by its parabolic reflector, which focuses radio frequency (RF) signals into a narrow beam. This design allows for efficient transmission of data over long distances with minimal signal loss. The term "bandeja" is Spanish for "tray" or "dish," aptly describing the shape of the reflector.

These antennas are commonly found on rooftops, towers, and other elevated structures, facilitating wireless backhaul for telecommunications networks, providing internet connectivity in remote areas, and enabling various industrial applications. The precise focusing capability of RFbandeja antennas is crucial for avoiding interference and ensuring a secure and stable connection between two fixed points. Their construction typically involves a metal dish, a feedhorn to transmit and receive the RF signals, and a mounting system for alignment. The size of the reflector directly influences the antenna's gain and beamwidth, with larger dishes generally providing higher gain and a narrower beam. Maintenance involves ensuring the dish is clean and properly aligned, as even minor misalignments can significantly degrade performance.
