Antenna Product Range

S-Band Patch Antenna

The S-Band patch antenna is designed to be mounted on the nadir-facing side of a 3U CubeSat. A wide beam width ensures satellite communication through a wide range of elevation angles. It is machined from solid aluminium.

• Left or right-hand circular polarization
• Simple integration with structure
• High gain (7dBi)
• Supports both amateur and commercial bands

X-Band Patch Antenna (XANT)

The XANT is a low-profile X-Band patch antenna designed for CubeSat missions. It is compatible with the CubeSat standard in terms of height limitations for mounts on the exterior chassis.

• For space missions where a high data rate downlink is required
• Three versions available to ensure a sub 3dB axial ratio over the entire X-band
• Insensitive to the surrounding ground plane, making integration simple

X-Band Patch Antenna Array (XANT4)

The XANT4 is a low-profile array of four X-Band patch antennas designed for CubeSat missions. It is compatible with the CubeSat standard in terms of height limitations for mounts on the exterior chassis.

• For space missions where a high data rate downlink is required
• Maintains a sub 2dB axial ratio over the entire X-band, with versions available in both LHCP and RHCP
• Insensitive to the surrounding ground plane, making integration simple
