yes you can get some small prime focus dishes, smallest i've seen is a 1.2m precision dish,

the motor on it looks like a jaeger smr 128 36volt motor

There is the Arcon Sweety, does that count as a prime focus?
only 43cm. Cassegrain or something?

Don't think that is true. Because the attenuation occurs in the atmosphere between the dish and the sattellite.

More efficient than normal prime focus dishes apparently.

I wouldn't mind testing one, but I think I would be too embarrassed to have a dish called 'Sweety'.
