The SAM-GOES-11 Cross Polarized Yagi Antenna is a rugged antenna designed for optimum performance for Environmental Satellite applications such as GOES and INSAT ( located any where in the geostationary arc from 45° E to 115° E longitude).  The driven elements are fed by a solid 3/8  rod feed system that allows or maximum power input.  The feed system is completely sealed from the elements in order to withstand unusually harsh weather situations and environments.
