Key highlights

The PlaneWave PW2222-310 is an S-Band Dual-CP TX Omni Test Hat designed for satellite applications. It serves as the perfect companion for testing the link during the integration of PlaneWave antennas on the space platform. All of PlaneWave’s space antennas include Test Hat mounting features which eliminate the need for adding extra brackets on the platform.

PlaneWave Test Hats are compact in size, and without significantly impacting antenna matching, they provide strong coupling to the antenna which enables consistent, accurate, and reproducible measurements.

Key features

  • Compact size and lightweight
  • Dual circular polarization: RHCP, LHCP or both
  • Wide operating temperature range

BENEFITS

  • Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
  • Strong and repeatable coupling
  • Easy to mount and dismount
  • Minimal impact on antenna matching
  • No mounting bracket is required on the platform
  • RF shielding to protect users and prevent violation of regulatory limits during testing
