Key highlights

The IQ spacecom X-Band High Gain Patch Antenna, operating in the 8000 MHz - 8450 MHz range, is designed for pico and nano satellite applications to realize simultaneous satelliteto-ground radio links.

With circular polarization, the antenna provides a robust solution regarding the steering accuracy to the ground station antenna and in case of a randomly rotation of wave polarization plane by refracts of the ionosphere. 

As an RF connector, a robust SMA female connector (manufactured by RADIALL) is used. A proper mounting of the antenna can be provided by 6 screws. The
antenna backside shall be grounded properly to the satellite chassis. 

As dielectric, ROGERS™ laminate for space applications is used. Patches and conductors are Cu with NiAu surface finish.

Customization

We also offer customised antennas that are tailored to meet the specific requirements and performance needs of your mission.

Flight heritage

With the basic design, TRL 9 has been achieved with various successful LEO missions
