About
The PAN-8498-64-K is a passive flat panel array antenna operating in the K-band downlink frequency range of 17-21 GHz, providing over 20 dBi of peak gain with a compact, low-profile geometry. Its 64-element design produces a high-gain fixed beam in circular polarization (LHCP or RHCP selectable), making it well-suited for fixed satellite service (FSS) ground terminals, VSAT systems, and next-generation LEO satellite user terminals.
The flat panel construction enables easy integration onto vehicle rooftops, building facades, and airframe surfaces without the depth and weight penalties of traditional dish or horn antennas. The antenna supports both LHCP and RHCP to accommodate different satellite services and polarization schemes from LEO, MEO, and GEO constellations.
The PAN-8498-64-K is designed as a passive receive antenna that pairs with Arralis’ Ka-band transceiver modules to form a complete ground terminal front-end. Its combination of high gain, compact form factor, and circular polarization purity makes it applicable to a broad range of satellite communications terminals, from fixed installations to vehicle-mounted systems.
