Reflectarray Antenna

The Anywaves Reflectarray Antenna is a custom-designed, flight-proven high-gain payload antenna for small satellites. Originally developed under a CNES programme and now in orbit as the world's first commercial reflectarray antenna on a small satellite, it delivers up to 40 dBi of gain from X-band to Ka-band using foldable flat panels that replicate the performance of a parabolic reflector. It is designed for missions where high gain, broadband performance, compact stowage and deployment reliability must be achieved simultaneously.

Its passive deployment mechanism — no motor, no electrical actuation — and locking interfaces ensure high mechanical reliability. Dual-circular polarization (simultaneous LHCP and RHCP) supports both communications and SAR payloads. Fractional bandwidth up to 15%. Stowed to 360 × 210 × 30 mm. Optional LNB. Acceptance tests included. All parameters defined jointly with the customer. ITAR Free.
