Corotor II Description
The Corotor II Plus and Corotor II Plus Wideband are designed for systems which require reception of both C and Ku-Band signals. The Corotor II Plus is primarily for reception of satellites in the United States while the Corotor II Plus 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 poles.

The Corotor II Plus receives linear C-Band signals in the 3.7-4.2GHz range and linear Ku-Band signals in the 11.7-12.7GHz range. The Corotor II Plus Wideband is for receptions of circular and linear C-Band signals in the 3.4-4.2GHz range and linear Ku-Band signals in the 10.95-12.75GHz range. The Corotor II Plus Wideband features a new low loss dielectric plate. The new dielectric plate provides a lower noise temperature and improved cross polarization.

The Corotor II Plus features chip-resistant powder paint, waterproof gaskets and connectors for protection against the environment. Built in the Chaparral tradition of quality, the Corotor II Plus is the ideal choice for systems which require reliable performance.
