S-band Patch Antenna completed for TanDem-X
SSTL has built an S-band patch antenna for Astrium's TanDEM-X mission. The attenna will be delivered to Astrium at the end of May having successfully completed testing. SSTL delivered a similar patch antenna to Astrium for their TerraSAR mission, to be launched later this year.
The SSTL patch antenna is a rugged, compact, moderate gain low cost antenna solution for space applications. It is capable of supporting high data rates and RF power, tested in a numerous mission heritage.
