Key highlights
The PlaneWave PW2020-000 is an Active S-Band RHCP RX Omni Antenna designed for space applications. It is a high-performance uplink antenna designed for TT&C applications in harsh space environments. It features an excellent axial ratio over the entire frequency band, making it ideal for demanding and reliable space communication links.
The integrated LNA and filter further improve signal fidelity and make this antenna a perfect choice for applications where the link budget is tight or interference is a concern. PW2020-000 is radiation tolerant, lightweight, and easy to integrate. It is also available with Test Hats and HITL versions to facilitate testing and integration.
