Description
Deutsch: Die größte Erdfunkstelle der Welt bei Raisting (in der Nähe des Ammersees) ist eine Bodenstation für die Kommunikation mit Nachrichtensatelliten und ist mit ihren großen Parabolantennen weithin sichtbar.
English: Antenna 2, a 28.5 meters (94 ft) diameter parabolic satellite communication antenna at Erdfunkstelle Raisting (Raisting Earth Station) Raisting, Bavaria, the biggest satellite communication facility in Germany. It was built in 1969 by the German Federal Post Office to exchange global telecommunication traffic with the Intelsat communication satellites. This type of parabolic antenna is called a Cassegrain antenna. The radio waves emerge from the hole in the center of the dish and are focussed on a convex subreflector suspended on the supports in front of the dish. The waves are reflected back toward the main dish, which reflects them forward to form the outgoing beam aimed at the satellite. The antenna transmits on 6 GHz with a gain 64.2 dB and receives on 4 GHz with a gain of 60.2 dB. (information from https://radom-raisting.de/erdfunkstelle/antenne-2)
Français : Le plus gros centre de communication satellitaire à Raisting, en Bavière (Allemagne).
