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.

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 moreHow many Ku band satellites are there?
There are more than 22 FSS Ku band satellites orbiting over North America, each carrying 12 to 48 transponders, 20 to 120 watts per transponder, and requiring a 0.8-m to 1.5-m antenna for clear reception.
