In support of ESSCO radomes and antennas, we provide additional engineering services.

FOUNDATION DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

Our in-house engineering staff can provide the complete foundation design for your site, verify an existing design, or build to your specifications. Drawings can be stamped by a professional engineer if required by local laws. ESSCO can even arrange for the foundation construction or can supply the drawings to allow local contractors to build the foundation.

TOWER MODIFICATIONS

Existing towers can often be used for new radome/antenna installations. Our engineering staff can review the existing tower drawings and advise on any modifications needed for the tower. Our field crew can make these modifications on site in conjunction with the radome installation.

ELECTROMAGNETIC DESIGN AND ANALYSIS

In addition to the detailed electromagnetic design and analysis which is done for all of our radomes, our electromagnetic staff is available to assist in other system design work. Some of the services we offer are:

• Reflector Design 
• Feed Design
• Near Field Pattern Analysis
• Subreflector Design
• Incorporation of Frequency Selective Surfaces

ELECTROMAGNETIC TESTING

ESSCO maintains multiple radio frequency (RF) testing facilities, including a 2,000-foot-long outdoor range and an indoor Induced Field Ratio (IFR) range. The outdoor range can be used for pattern testing and has been used to qualify antennas to FCC and INTELSAT specifications.
