Applications
This GNSS All‑Bands Launcher Antenna, tailored for launcher platforms, delivers exceptional positioning accuracy during ascent. It supports all major GNSS constellations—including GPS, Galileo, Glonass, Beidou, and Inmarsat’s L‑band—within a 1.16–1.61 GHz band, facilitated by a highly stable phase centre and circular polarization that ensure uninterrupted signal tracking even in dynamic and obstructed launch conditions. Its compact form factor (< 15 cm), thermal shielding, and rigorous acceptance testing guarantee reliability amid extreme vibrations and temperatures faced during launch operations. Being ITAR‑free enhances its suitability for diverse international launcher projects
Key features
- Full GNSS Coverage – Operates across 1.16–1.61 GHz, supporting all major constellations: GPS (L1/L2/L5), Galileo (E1/E5), Glonass (L1/L2), BeiDou (B1/B2/B3), and L-band augmentation services (e.g., Inmarsat). This ensures uninterrupted positioning and navigation capability throughout the launch trajectory.
- Right-Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP) – Maintains consistent signal quality by matching standard GNSS polarization, minimizing signal degradation from reflections or atmospheric effects.
- Stable Phase Centre – Engineered for high phase centre stability, a critical factor for precise trajectory determination and navigation accuracy during all phases of launch.
- Rugged Launcher-Ready Design – Specifically built to withstand the extreme mechanical loads, vibrations, and shocks of launch environments without performance loss.
- Thermal Protection – Equipped with robust thermal shielding to operate reliably under rapid and wide temperature variations encountered from pre-launch to ascent.
- Compact Form Factor – Low-profile design (< 15 cm height) facilitates easy integration into constrained launcher architectures without impacting aerodynamics or structural layout.
- ITAR-Free – Designed and manufactured without ITAR restrictions, allowing for flexible export and integration into a wide range of commercial and international launcher programs.
- High Reliability Through Testing – Subjected to comprehensive RF performance, mechanical, and environmental acceptance tests to validate durability, consistency, and compliance with space mission standards.
- Low Mass – Lightweight build minimizes impact on overall launcher mass budget, aiding in mission optimization.
- Integration Flexibility – Mechanical interface designed for straightforward mounting on various launcher structures and compatibility with standard GNSS receiver systems.
