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.
