Designed for small satellite applications, this antenna features a compact, lightweight construction ensuring efficient space utilization and ease of integration. The antenna leverages advanced microstrip technology and provides excellent gain and directivity, enhancing signal strength and quality for satellite communication systems.

Features

• Operates in the 8050-8400 MHz X-band allocation for Earth science satellites
• Flat passive microstrip array 
• Designed to be integrated with ECS high-throughput X-band transmitter (PRDC)
• Gain of 18.5 dB is 3 dB higher than typical competing antennas targeted for 1U formfactor, that provides corresponding link budget improvement
• Test cap (test hat) is available for the satellite integration testing
