High-Gain Antennas

forme 5
The emerging demand for satellite missions for high-throughput or Earth observation drives an increasing need for antenna systems operating at high frequencies, i.e., X, Ku, and Ka bands.

Because of the strong atmospheric attenuation at these frequencies, satellite mission link budgets require high-gain antenna solutions while minimizing bulkiness and footprint.

To meet this demand, Anywaves’ specialized engineering team has been working on developing viable solutions as an optimal balance between electromagnetic performance, costs, and compliance with qualification standards. In particular, Anywaves proposes three antenna product lines, each of which is more suitable for one application than another, depending on the customer’s need: direct radiating arrays, reflectarrays, and slotted-waveguide array antennas.

Testing Process

In order to guarantee the durability and functionality of our antennas under the severe environmental conditions they will encounter from launch to orbit, we conduct a series of rigorous tests. These tests include qualification tests and acceptance tests. The purpose of the qualification tests is to demonstrate that one or more models of the product can withstand the various life cycles of a space product. On the other hand, acceptance tests are carried out on each flight model to ensure that the product delivered to the customer is functional and durable.

Are your antennas scalable? Can we adapt their performance to our requirements?

Yes, our antennas are designed with scalability in mind. We understand that each project has unique requirements and performance criteria. Our team of experts is experienced in tailoring antenna designs to meet specific needs, ensuring that you can adapt the performance of our antennas to your exact requirements. Whether it’s adjusting the gain, beamwidth, frequency range, or other parameters, we have the flexibility to customize our antennas to align with your specifications. We work closely with you to understand your objectives and deliver scalable antenna solutions that meet your specific performance needs effectively.

What is the qualification testing process applied to our antennas?

Our qualification testing process for antennas involves subjecting them to demanding tests to ensure their durability and performance in space conditions. These tests include functional measurements, random vibration, shock, vacuum thermal cycling, long thermal cycling. We also conduct power handling tests for transmission antennas and perform rigorous final inspections before concluding the qualification phase. For more detailed information on our testing process, don’t hesitate to contact us!

What kind of acceptance tests are your antennas subjected to?

To ensure the functionality and durability of each flight model delivered to customers, acceptance tests are conducted. These tests, while lighter than qualification tests, still involve an S-parameter test, random vibration test, and thermal cycling at ambient pressure. The process concludes with a final S-parameter test and an external visual inspection to guarantee the quality of the antenna.

I don’t know which antenna to buy, can you help?

Absolutely! At Anywaves, we understand that choosing the right antenna is crucial. Our team of experts is here to assist you. We offer personalized consultation services tailored to your specific needs. By understanding your requirements and applications, we can recommend the most suitable antenna from our extensive product range.
