Description

Our Ceramic 3D Printed GNSS L1/E1 Bands Antenna is the perfect solution for satellite positioning subsystems, receiving signals from the Global Navigation Satellite System constellations to help locate the satellite in space and time.

Developed under the European Space Agency I.T.I contract, this antenna has a technology readiness level 9 and features Anywaves’ secret sauce based on an additive manufacturing process. With a unique combination of 3D printing and ceramic material, it’s ideally suited to harsh environments like space.

This antenna covers GPS L1 and Galileo E1 bands, providing a boresight gain of 5.5 dBi and hemispherical coverage with a half power beamwidth of 90°. It operates in circular polarization to avoid signal blackouts, and is available in two versions: an engineering model and a flight model. Both versions have the same electrical performance, using the same materials and processes. On flight models, we perform meticulous and rigorous acceptance tests to ensure the highest quality.

With right-hand circular polarization and a size of less than 1U, this antenna is a great choice for LEO platforms. Thanks to our agility and industrialization process, we can deliver your antennas quickly.
