The Anywaves Test Hat for X-Band Antennas enables complete end-to-end RF testing of the X-Band payload downlink antenna and transmitter chain directly on the satellite platform, from assembly bench to final TVAC testing. Covering the 8–8.4 GHz X-Band data downlink range with a coupling factor of approximately −27 dB, it eliminates the need for anechoic chamber measurements during integration — saving time and cost while delivering reproducible RF measurements at every stage of the AIT campaign.
Its 100 × 100 mm square base matches the footprint of all Anywaves X-Band antennas. Captive M3 screws are provided, screwing directly into the antenna interface with no additional hardware. TVAC compatible to +85°C with low outgassing. Compatible with LHCP and RHCP, covering the full range of X-Band antenna configurations. Low RF leakage protects operators during the test. 615 g. ITAR Free.
