This High-Gain X-Band Dual-Circularly-Polarized Antenna is our latest antenna generation for Data Downlink.
It is a high quality and very compact antenna solution (1U). Thanks to its dual-circular-polarization, the data rate can be doubled compared to the High-gain X-band antenna. This is specifically suitable for compact platforms that need high-data rate payload telemetry, such as Earth Observation missions.
Anywaves High-Gain X-Band Dual-Circularly-Polarized Antenna provides boresight gain more than 16.5 dBi and, if needed, simultaneous dual circular polarization.
The materials and processes used for the assembly have a flight heritage. Outgassing is managed thanks to classical space design rules. The antenna is covered with a PEEK radome painted with a qualified anti-ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) white paint. The antenna is ESD free and there is no risk that ESD discharge damages the equipment (especially important for polar orbits missions or orbits above 400 Km).
