K/KA-BAND HORN antenna

Cost - effective dual band dual polarization high - gain antenna (HGA) for leo and geo applications

Overview

The Ka-band horn antenna is designed for satellite service applications in both LEO and GEO orbits. With a volume <2 U and a mass of 569 g, it offers high-gain performance and supports dual-band, dual-polarization capabilities, ensuring reliable communication across a wide range of frequencies. Its cost-effective design makes it ideal for missions requiring efficient payload integration, enabling robust data transmission while minimizing space and weight constraints.
