About
The piPATCH-L1E1 is a High Quality, High Gain Antenna with low noise, RF filters and uniform radiation pattern intended for a Z+/- CubeSat wall. It is ideal for Nadir/Zenith oriented satellites such as ground-scanning telescope missions, ensuring orientation towards the GNSS zenith with a Z-face. To get the maximum available pattern homogeneity, the Z+/- side of the CubeSat structure is typically the best place to put the GPS antenna for Nadir scanning optical telescope missions. The centered best-in-class radiation (reception) efficiency ceramic patch antenna element, with the best gain-in-size package, provides the best possible hemispherical pattern and resulting SNR readings in the GNSS receiver, whilst still fitting the tight Z+/- mount CubeSat envelope. The module size of 98×98 mm additionally gives the antenna the best possible RF groundplane electrically insulated from the CubeSat structure to prevent grounding loops in the power supply structure. Connect the RF Coaxial cable with DC power from 2.7 to 5.5V and start to receive first signals from GPS and Galileo constellation with your GNSS Receiver!
