Sun Fade

Sun transit Fades for geosynchronous satellites occur when the sun crosses the earth's equatorial plane during the spring and fall equinoxes. Information includes a calculator tool for predicting sun fadees in your area.

Dish Alignment

This utility is provided in order to get coordinates needed when aligning a satellite antenna (dish) to a satellite for the purpose of receiving a signal. As well as instructions, two calculators are provided: one for those who know their coordinates, and another for those who do not.

Rain Fade

Even the most reliable satellite communications technology can sometimes be out-matched by the forces of nature. It’s a phenomenon known as “rain fade” or “rain attenuation” – a weakening of the satellite signal as it passes through raindrops. Included with this information are maps and tables.

Satellite Maps

Ku-Band, C-Band, and Latitude/Longitude maps are available for the various services: SpaceLinkSM, FM Squared®, FM Cubed®, and FM Quad for the regions of the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii), Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
