About
The Anywaves Wide Beam X-Band Antenna is a TRL 8 payload telemetry antenna for LEO satellites, providing wide-coverage X-Band data downlink from 8.025 to 8.4 GHz (375 MHz bandwidth). With a Half Power Beam Width of approximately 86° and a realized gain above 5.0 dBi at boresight, above 4.0 dBi at ±30°, and above −1.0 dBi at ±60°, it maintains positive X-Band gain across a wide field of view, enabling reliable payload data downlink even on platforms with limited attitude control accuracy. The antenna shares the same 100 × 100 mm footprint and 16.2 mm envelope height as the Compact X-Band Antenna, making the two products mechanically interchangeable. It is available in LHCP or RHCP, with a mass of approximately 67.5 g. The antenna is protected by a PEEK radome (SG121FD white paint on flight models) for thermal resistance (−120°C to +120°C qualification range) and electrostatic discharge protection, and has 20 W power handling. Acceptance testing (RF, mechanical, and thermal) is included on all flight models, and it is compatible with the Anywaves Test Hat for X-Band Antennas. The product is ITAR Free.
