The Anywaves Compact X-Band Dual-Polarized Antenna delivers simultaneous LHCP and RHCP from a single 100 × 100 mm antenna aperture. Operating from 8.025 to 8.4 GHz, it enables either doubled data throughput — by streaming two independent mission datapacks in parallel — or polarization diversity for improved link reliability.
Derived from the flight-proven Compact X-Band Antenna architecture, it features high cross-polar discrimination and port-to-port isolation better than −15 dB, ensuring clean independent signals on each connector. The PEEK Radome with anti-ESD coating provides full protection against electrostatic discharges, critical for missions in polar orbits or above 400 km. Compatible with the Anywaves Test Hat for X-Band Antennas. ITAR Free. Full acceptance testing on flight models.
Key Features:
-
- Simultaneous LHCP + RHCP
