Simulsat is a quasi-parabolic satellite earthstation antenna that is capable of receiving satellite transmissions from 35 or more C and Ku Band satellites simultaneously. A standard Parabolic antenna is able to receive signals from a single satellite at a time. The Parabolic antenna is a high-gain, reflector antenna used for radio, television and data communications, and also for radiolocation (RADAR), on the UHF and SHF frequencies. ...

Simulsat antennas are parabolic in one plane and spherical in the other. Since it has multiple points of reflection, one antenna is able to receive signals from more than one satellite at a time. It uses an antenna/downconverter (See LNB) for each satellite/ The LNB's are mounted in an arc in front of the dish. A parabola A parabola (from the Greek: παραβολή) is a conic section generated by the intersection of a cone, and a plane tangent to the cone or parallel to some plane tangent to the cone. ... For other uses, see sphere (disambiguation). ... A satellite is any object that orbits another object (which is known as its primary). ...

They are manufactured and sold by the ATCi corporation, for whom Simulsat is their primary product. Currently, three versions are manufactured, Simulsat 5, Simulsat C/Ku, and Simulsat 7. ATCi also manufactures standard parabolic antennas, in addition to accessories and components for the Simulsat systems.
