Key highlights

The ANYWAVES Test Cap for GNSS All-Bands Antennas is designed for satellite applications.

Its design consists of a cylindrical aluminum cavity, covered with absorber material and terminated by an RF probe.

The antenna covers all frequency bands for the GNSS application. It is delivered as a single part that can be directly screwed on top of the antenna, minimizing the risk for both the antenna damage and the manipulation steps.

ntroducing Anywaves’ Test Hat (also called “Test Cap”) for GNSS All-Bands Antennas – the essential tool for reproducible measurements of your navigation antenna and GNSS receiver on your satellite platform.

This Ground Segment Equipment consists of a cylindrical aluminium cavity terminated by a RF probe. Its single part design eliminates the need for a mounting bracket. It easily screws directly on top of the antenna. The test hat is compatible with thermal vacuum environments with low outgassing properties. The plug-and-play for an end to end RF (Radio Frequency) system measurements and low radio frequency leakage ensures safe and efficient testing. With highly reproductible measurement, you will demonstrate your complete radio frequency chain performance for better reliability of your satellite and increase your customer satisfaction!

Compatible with the ANYWAVES GNSS All-Bands Antenna.
