Key highlights

The SkyFox Labs piPATCH-ADSB/FM (Flight Model) is a Top Notch, High Gain RHCP (Right Hand Circular Polarization) Antenna array with a uniform hemispherical radiation pattern intended for CubeSat installations. The antenna is ideal for Nadir/Zenith oriented satellites such as ground-scanning telescope missions, ensuring the orientation towards the terrestrial sources with a X/Y-face.

The module can be embedded closer to the conductive parts such as metallic sidewalls or PCB groundplanes on the body of the satellite to extend the existing antenna groundplane. The antenna is suitable for projects requiring Global ADS-B squitter reception and signal inteligence with enough margins and ease-to-use MCX signal interface.
