Summary

The SkyFox Labs piPATCH-LG is an active antenna with dual GPS L1 + GLONASS bands and up to 50 dBc-Hz SNR on the ground for close-to-zenith satellites. It is a high-quality and high-gain antenna with low noise, RF filters, and uniform radiation pattern intended for a Z+/- CubeSat wall. The antenna is ideal for Nadir/Zenith-oriented satellites such as ground-scanning telescope missions, ensuring the orientation towards the GNSS zenith with a Z-face.
