The Anywaves Wide Beam X-Band Antenna provides payload telemetry downlink across a wider field of view than the Compact X-Band Antenna. Operating from 8.025 to 8.4 GHz with a Half Power Beam Width of approximately 86°, it maintains a gain above −1 dBi across a ±60° cone — ensuring reliable downlink performance even at significant off-boresight angles during LEO passes. It is the right choice for platforms that cannot guarantee precise nadir or ground-station pointing at all times.
At 100 × 100 mm and approximately 68 g, it fits within a 1U CubeSat face and is mechanically interchangeable with the Compact X-Band Antenna at the panel interface level. Available in LHCP or RHCP, protected by a PEEK radome with anti-ESD coating, compatible with the Anywaves Test Hat for X-Band Antennas, and supplied with full acceptance testing on flight models. ITAR Free.
