The objective of the project has been to advance the development of the GNSS Antenna for robustness and develop multi horn assemblies for global coverage TTC, IOT payload Rx/Tx and Beacon.
To improve the structural ability without affecting the RF-performance of GNSS PEC antennas.
The mechanical and thermal design of the horn support bracket to fulfil the environmental requirements and achieve compact size and weight.
The horn antennas features:
The GNSS PEC Antenna design is robust with small low height/mass and has excellent RF performance.
The horn antennas are for Ku-band global coverage TTC, Ka-band IOT payload Rx/Tx and Tx Beacon signal.
The GNSS PEC antenna is for satellite GNSS receivers and features low height and is adapted for GNSS frequencies from L5/E5a, E5b, L2 to L1/E1.
The study was performed with the following work packages:
The following reviews have been held:
The project is completed and the units have been fully qualified.
