The Anywaves High Gain X-Band Antenna exceeds 20 dBi of realized gain at 8.2 GHz — 5 dBi more than the Compact X-Band Antenna — through a 200 × 200 mm aperture that focuses all RF energy into a narrow 9° pencil beam. This gain level enables higher data rates with respect to the Anywaves Compact X-Band antenna, making it the right choice for Earth observation missions with large or high-resolution payloads generating large data volumes that must be downloaded within short LEO pass windows.
The antenna operates from 7.9 to 8.5 GHz (600 MHz bandwidth) in LHCP or RHCP, with a reflection coefficient better than −18 dB and an axial ratio below 1 dB at ±5°. Protected by a PEEK Radome with anti-ESD coating, it maintains a low 16 mm profile with less than 8 mm of protrusion. Compatible with the Anywaves Test Hat for X-Band Antennas. Full acceptance testing on flight models. ITAR Free.
NB : this antenna is compatible with Anywaves Test Cap for X-Bands Antennas
