About

NewSpace Systems’ LYRA antenna range offers configurable RHCP or LHCP polarization across four models spanning S-band and Ka-band frequencies. Models range from a wide-beam 70-degree HPBW S-band patch antenna through to a high-gain 10-degree HPBW Ka-band array. All variants deliver better than -10 dB return loss across their respective bands. Applications span TT&C, SAR, Earth observation downlink, deep-space links, broadband communications, and GNSS positioning and timing. The range is designed to meet stringent satellite and aerospace reliability requirements.
