About
The S-Band Dual-Band Patch Antenna operates over 2025-2110 MHz and 2200-2290 MHz through a dual-port, facilitating easy integration into compact RF subsystems. Designed for spaceborne use, it provides balanced coverage and consistent link performance across both operating bands. It supports reliable communication across both operating bands, combining dual-band capability and balanced coverage to help maintain stable SatCom and TT&C links under varying mission conditions. The antenna is part of Plan-S’s Radios & Antennas portfolio, which delivers flight-ready communications hardware for LEO missions, offering band and configuration options in compact, integration-friendly form factors. The S-Band Dual Transceiver Antenna (likely referring to this product) reduces hardware and integration complexity while delivering robust links that maintain command authority across every pass.
