Satellite antenna Schwaiger SPI996

The SCHWAIGER® Satellite antenna Schwaiger SPI996 is an offset parabolic antenna designed for reception of free-to-air and encrypted television and radio broadcasts via satellite. It operates across the 10.7–12.75 GHz frequency range and provides a gain of 38.5 dBi. Constructed from aluminium, plastic and steel with a 75 cm reflector, the antenna is finished in grey and is suitable for fixed outdoor installation.

Advantages

The SPI996 offers high gain for improved signal strength, a compact 75 cm offset reflector that reduces mounting obstruction, and a robust construction using aluminium, plastic and steel for outdoor durability. Its frequency range covers standard Ku-band satellite transmissions and the neutral grey finish suits a variety of installation environments.

Suitable for

• Reception of Ku-band satellite TV channels (free-to-air and encrypted)
• Satellite radio reception
• Fixed home or small-business outdoor installations
• Installation where a compact, high-gain offset dish is required

How to use

Mount the antenna on a stable outdoor bracket with a clear line of sight to the target satellite. Assemble and secure all components following the manufacturer’s assembly instructions, ensuring the reflector and feed are correctly aligned. Connect the satellite LNB and run a coaxial cable to your satellite receiver or tuner. Perform fine-tuning of azimuth, elevation and skew while monitoring signal strength on the receiver until optimal reception is achieved.

Recommendations

Use appropriate weatherproof connectors and cable, ground the installation according to local regulations, and check mounting hardware periodically. For best results, align the dish using a satellite finder or receiver signal meter and verify compatibility of the LNB and receiver with Ku-band frequencies.
