This antenna system provides omnidirectional coverage of telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) communication links for a student satellite . The compact, lightweight antenna is designed for dual circular polarization in S-Band (2.0 to 2.3 GHz), covering both the transmit and receive TT&C frequency bands.

The S-Band High Data Rate Transmitter is a CubeSat compatible Transmitter designed to meet the needs of high data-rate downlinks of up to 4.3 Mbps (usable information bit-rate at CCSDS transfer frame level). The transmitter can be used for both TT&C or PDT downlinks.

A multiband antenna is an antenna designed to operate in multiple bands of frequencies . Multiband antennas use a design in which one part of the antenna is active for one band, while another part is active for a different band.

Read moreWhy Ku band is used in DTH?
These are some of the advantages of choosing Ku-band: because of its higher power , Ku band satellites (vary in size from 2′ to 5′ in diameter) are generally smaller than C band satellites. the power of uplinks and downlinks can be increased as needed. users with a C-band system in place can retrofit for Ku-band use.25 Kas 2019

Read moreWhat is the difference between C band and Ku band dish?
The Ku band frequency range is 11.7 – 12.2 GHz (or 11700 to 12220 MHz) Notice how these frequencies are higher than the C band frequency range. Because of the higher frequencies, Ku band waves have shorter wavelengths . Shorter wavelengths mean that you need a smaller dish to receive these frequencies.
