TT&C
Antennas

Anywaves develops space-qualified TT&C antennas designed to ensure reliable telemetry, tracking and command links throughout every phase of a mission.

Our TT&C antenna product lines are engineered to provide predictable RF performance, wide coverage and robust operation in demanding space environments. They support critical communication between spacecraft and ground stations, from early orbit operations to end-of-life.

Designed, manufactured and qualified in-house, these antennas combine compact form factors with integration-ready interfaces. This allows spacecraft manufacturers to reduce uncertainty, accelerate integration and secure a mission-critical RF function with proven, repeatable solutions.

Questions
& Answers

  • What does TT&C stand for?

    In the space industry, TT&C stands for “Telemetry, Tracking, and Command.” TT&C refers to the communication and control processes involved in monitoring and managing spacecraft. Telemetry involves collecting and transmitting data from the spacecraft to the ground station, tracking involves accurately determining the spacecraft’s position, and command refers to sending instructions or commands from the ground station to the spacecraft. TT&C is crucial for spacecraft operations, ensuring efficient communication, monitoring, and control of the mission.

  • What are the key features of a TT&C antenna?

    Our TT&C (Telemetry, Tracking, and Command) antennas at ANYWAVES offer a range of key features that make them ideal for space communication. These features include wide beam radiation patterns, ensuring reliable data transmission and reception. Our antennas are designed to operate within the S-band frequency range, enabling efficient communication with spacecraft. They are built using high-quality materials and robust construction to withstand the demanding environmental conditions of space missions. With their exceptional performance, durability, and compatibility with TT&C systems, our S-band antennas provide reliable and efficient communication links for space applications.

  • Do you propose an EM (Engineering Model) and/or a FM (Flight Model) item?

    A test cap is the perfect tool to simplify your antenna testing process. It allows highly reproducible measurements in all your environments such as clean rooms or thermal chambers. Using this equipment eliminates the need for RF tests to be carried out in an anechoic chamber, saving you significant amounts of time and money.

    However, it’s important to note that our test caps are specifically designed for use with Anywaves antennas. Due to variations in antenna designs and specifications among different suppliers, we cannot guarantee compatibility with antennas produced by other suppliers. To ensure optimal protection and performance, we recommend using our test caps exclusively with Anywaves antennas, as they are tailored to fit our specific antenna models.

  • What if my specifications are different from the TT&C antennas on the website?

    At Anywaves, we understand that every project may have unique requirements. We offer customization options to tailor our antennas to your specific needs. Our experienced engineering team can work closely with you to develop custom antenna solutions that align with your specifications. Whether it’s modifying existing designs or creating entirely new antennas, we are committed to delivering antennas that meet your exact requirements. Feel free to contact us to discuss your specific needs, and we’ll be glad to assist you with a customized solution.

  • I don’t know which TT&C antenna to buy, can you help?

    Absolutely! At Anywaves, we understand that choosing the right TT&C (Telemetry, Tracking, and Command) antenna can be a complex decision. Our team of experts is here to assist you in finding the perfect solution. By understanding your specific requirements, such as frequency bands, gain, beamwidth, and mechanical constraints, we can provide personalized recommendations from our range of TT&C antennas. We are committed to helping you select the optimal antenna that meets your needs for reliable communication and control with your spacecraft. Feel free to contact us for expert guidance and support in choosing the right TT&C antenna.

  • Are your TT&C antennas in reception or in emission?

    Our TT&C (Telemetry, Tracking, and Command) antennas are designed to handle both reception and emission functions. They are versatile antennas capable of receiving telemetry data from the spacecraft, tracking its position, and transmitting commands to control its operations. This dual-functionality enables effective communication and control between ground stations and space missions. Our TT&C antennas are engineered to provide reliable reception and emission capabilities, ensuring seamless and efficient data exchange for your space applications.

  • Is the EIDP (Engineering Item Data Package) included? What does it contain?

    Yes, the EIDP (Engineering Item Data Package) is included with our ANYWAVES antennas. The EIDP contains comprehensive documentation that provides essential technical details and specifications of the antenna. It typically includes :

    • Acceptance test reports

    • ICD (Interface Control Document)

    • Mechanical envelope

    • User Manual

    • Certificate of conformity

    We ensure that the EIDP accompanies each antenna purchase to support your integration and operational needs.

  • Can I buy a single antenna or is there a minimum order? How quick can I receive my order?

    Whether your project is big or small, we can provide a single EM antenna for testing as well as cater for volume orders. Depending on your lead time and our availability, we may even be able to ship it within a few days!
