Key highlights

The ANYWAVES Test Cap for X-Band Antennas is designed for space applications.

It is an essential tool for testing our X-Band Antennas at the satellite level. Its single-part design makes it easy to use and effective while maintaining a very low impact on the antenna.

The antennas enable reproducible measurements of the antenna and transceiver on the platform. It helps customers perform better end-to-end tests, securing performance, as well as saving time and money by avoiding complex tests in anechoic chambers.

This Ground Segment Equipment consists of a cylindrical aluminum cavity terminated by an RF probe. Its single-part design eliminates the need for a mounting bracket. It easily screws directly on top of the antenna. The test cap 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 reproducible measurements, customers will be able to demonstrate their complete radio frequency chain performance for better reliability of a satellite.

This system is compatible with the ANYWAVES X-Band Dual-Circularly-Polarized Antenna and High-Gain X-Band Payload Telemetry Antenna.

Key features

  • Enables reproducible measurements of antenna & transmitter on the platform
  • Very low impact on the antenna matching (reflection coefficient)
  • Compatible with thermal vacuum environment
  • Safe & easy to mount & dismount
  • Low RF leakage to protect users from radiation during the test
