Key highlights

The Anywaves Test Hat (or Test Cap) for S-Band TT&C Antennas is essential to carry out end-to-end testing (parallelism, assembly chain, thermal vacuum..). It features a simple and robust design consisting in a cylindrical aluminium cavity, covered with absorber material and terminated by a RF (Radio Frequency) probe.

It operates over the frequency band of the S-Band TTC antenna. This Test Hat enables reproductible performance measurements of antenna & transceiver on the platform.

It is delivered in a single part that can be directly screwed on top of the antenna, minimizing both the risk to damage the antenna and the manipulation steps.

Key features

Enables reproductible measurements of antenna & transceiver on the platform
Very low impact on the antenna matching (reflection coefficient)
No mounting bracket required on the platform (screwed on the antenna itself)
Compatible with thermal vacuum environment with low outgassing properties
Safe & easy to mount & dismount thanks to an oriented slot ensuring the correct positioning
Low RF leakage to protect users from radiation during the test

Export control

The ANYWAVES Test Cap for S-Band TT&C Antennas is ITAR free.
