K/KA-BAND HORN antenna

High-gain antenna (HGA)
cost-effective, full duplex, operating in K/KA-BAND

Overview

To ensure a high data rate of small satellites, a wide frequency band is required. BEAMSAT is a horn antenna available in two different bands, Ka-band and Ku-band.

With a volume of 2 U (20 x 10 x 10 cm) BEAMSAT offers excellent matching and sufficient gain to cover missions both in GEO and LEO orbits.

Applications

  • LEO small satellite services
  • GEO satellites services
  • FSS telecommunications
  • Satellite Communications-on-the-Move
  • HTS Terminals
