Satellite antenna Fuba DAA 850 A 10.75 - 12.75 GHz Black 85 cm

The Fuba DAA 850 A satellite antenna is designed for reception in the 10.75–12.75 GHz Ku-band. With an 85 cm parabolic reflector and a compact, weather-resistant construction in black finish, the antenna supports stable reception of satellite TV and data signals for residential and small commercial installations. The unit is optimized for typical Ku-band satellites and provides a focused beam for improved signal strength in moderate to long-range reception scenarios.

Advantages

The antenna combines a large 85 cm reflector with precise feed alignment to deliver higher gain than smaller dishes, improving signal quality under normal atmospheric conditions. Lightweight construction at approximately 8.8 kg simplifies mounting and alignment on wall brackets or masts. The design includes dual noise figure characteristics suitable for varied transponder conditions and an X-polarisation isolation around 27 dB to reduce cross-polar interference. The black finish offers a discreet visual appearance on facades and rooftops.

Suitable for

• Residential satellite TV reception in Ku-band (10.75–12.75 GHz)
• Small business or community installations requiring reliable reception
• Locations needing an 85 cm diameter dish for improved gain
• Fixed installations on walls, roofs, or masts

Key specifications

• Operating frequency range: 10.75–12.75 GHz (Ku-band)
• Dish diameter: 85 cm
• Noise figure values: 38.12 and 39.53 (specified per device characteristics)
• Polarisation isolation: approximately 27 dB (X-polarisation)
• Weight: approximately 8.8 kg
• Finish: black, weather-resistant coating

How to use

Select an appropriate mounting location with a clear line of sight to the target satellite and secure a suitable wall bracket or mast. Assemble the reflector and feed arm following the manufacturer's mechanical fit points, attach the LNB or feed assembly compatible with Ku-band frequencies, and route coaxial cable to the indoor receiver. Use a satellite finder or signal meter and adjust azimuth, elevation and skew to maximize the receiver signal level. Tighten mounting hardware once optimal alignment is achieved and ensure all cable connections are weatherproofed.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, mount the antenna with unobstructed view toward the satellite, avoid nearby reflective surfaces, and ensure the LNB used matches Ku-band specifications. Regularly inspect mounting hardware and feed assembly for corrosion or loosening. In areas with heavy precipitation or snow, consider a slightly higher gain margin or protective measures to maintain consistent reception.
