Key highlights
The SkyFox Labs piPATCH-MAX is a Multi Constellation (GPS-L1 + GLONASS-G1 + GALILEO-E1 + BEIDOU-B1) Satellite Active Antenna module designed to provide strong signal for GNSS satellites reception in space.
The module is suitable for projects requiring strong and stable GNSS signal reception with optimized RF signal path with ease-to-use SMA signal and power interface.
The module could be easily mounted to the satellite structure using four M4 screws with a flat head. High quality materials used for the Flight Model brings the best possible outgassing performance in vacuum environment of space.
The antenna is fully compatible with various GNSS receivers providing biased RF antenna inputs with the nominal range of 3.3V to 5V DC.
Massive Bracket. | Strong Signal.
The module carries a mounting bracket made of AL-6061-T6 Aluminum with aerospace tensile strength, acting as groundplane which naturally equalizes the antenna radiation pattern. PEEK cover provides with additional AtOx protection for all microsatellite missions with enough volumetric margins, extending standard CubeSat performance.
Connect the RF Coaxial cable with DC power from 2.7 to 5.5V and start to receive first signals from GNSS constellation with your GNSS Receiver!
