About
The Helical-beam Antenna is a flight-qualified on-board antenna designed to form the required servicing area and receive signals within P, L, and S frequency bands. It supports conical, cylindrical, or convertible helix frames made of fiberglass plastic or organic plastic, with copper or aluminum conductors. Helix pitch distance can be fixed or varied. Shield structure options: flat, bowl-shaped, or convertible. Configuration and dimensions are adapted to spacecraft mission requirements.
