About
The AAC SpaceQuest ANT-100 is a space-qualified static whip antenna tunable across VHF and UHF frequency bands, also covering S-band operation. It is designed for straightforward integration onto small satellites with emphasis on ease of use, assembly, and mounting.
The antenna’s simple mechanical design enables reliable deployment in orbit, a critical requirement for CubeSat missions where deployment failures can end a mission. Its tunability across VHF and UHF allows operators to configure it for the frequency bands used by their ground segment.
With extensive flight heritage from AAC SpaceQuest satellite missions, the ANT-100 is a proven, reliable antenna for low-data-rate communications in LEO. It is compatible with AAC SpaceQuest’s TRX-U UHF transceiver for a complete communications subsystem.
