About
The UHF Antenna System with Service Panel is designed to convert electrical RF signals into electromagnetic waves for transmitting and receiving radio signals. It also provides a service interface for assembled spacecraft. The system was released in 2018 and has a guaranteed service life of 1 year, with an estimated production/delivery time of 3 months. It is compatible with CubeSat form factors including 1U, 2U, 3U, and 6U. The antenna deployment mechanism involves burning a filament, with a duplicated device for this process and telemetry monitoring of the deployment. Key features include a robust mechanical design, built-in plugs for spacecraft service assistance, support for RBF-switch installation, and a built-in RF balance system. The product is not flight qualified and cannot be adapted to customer requirements.
