About
The Anywaves Compact S-Band TT&C Antenna is the optimised evolution of their flagship S-Band TT&C Antenna, operating from 1.98 to 2.29 GHz across a bandwidth of more than 310 MHz. It delivers improved gain at high elevation angles and a more compact form factor, while maintaining full duplex Tx/Rx capability and hemispherical beam coverage for reliable TT&C links. Its key advancement is dual-circular polarization, with LHCP and RHCP available simultaneously on two dedicated SMA connectors, enabling polarisation diversity without additional hardware. Protected by a PEEK radome coated with SG121FD white paint on flight models, it provides high endurance to radiation and electrostatic discharges, as well as enhanced thermal protection. At 70.9 × 70.9 mm and 30.33 mm total height, it features a low form factor with a minimal footprint impact on satellite platforms. The antenna is Test Hat compatible and supplied with full acceptance testing on flight models, making it ready to equip next-generation satellite platforms. It is ITAR Free and has a TRL of 8, meaning it has successfully passed the full qualification test campaign and is considered flight-ready for most programmes.
