The Anywaves Slotted Waveguide Array Antenna is a custom-designed, high-gain flat antenna solution for satellite payload applications requiring gains above 20 dBi in the Ku or Ka band. Built from a full-metal structure through a hybrid series/parallel waveguide feed, it is optimised for SAR payloads, inter-satellite link communications and high-data-rate downlinks — applications where gain, beam stability, high power handling and structural robustness are the defining requirements.
Its full-metal construction makes it ESD-free, thermoelastically robust, and capable of handling high RF power levels without dielectric degradation. With a profile thickness below 10 mm, it imposes a minimal volume impact on the platform. Available in LHCP or RHCP. All parameters — frequency, gain, footprint, beam characteristics — are defined jointly with the customer and tailored to each mission. ITAR Free.
Key Features:
