Key highlights

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

With circular polarization, the antenna provides a robust antenna 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 RF connectors, connectors of SMA type (manufacturer RADIALL) are used. A proper mounting of the antenna can be provided by 4 screws. The antenna backside shall be ground-ed 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, TRL9 has been achieved with various successful LEO missions.

Export control

Our products are ITAR-free.
