The dual band antenna consists of a rectangular patch which is fed by the coaxial probe feeding technique . The ground plane is loaded with two rectangular strip slots and one elliptical slot to drive the antenna into dual mode and to enhance its bandwidth.
Read moreWhat is an S-band transmitter?
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.
Read moreWhat is an S-band antenna?
A single S-band boom antenna on each satellite (deployed after launch by a pyrotechnic device) enables the satellite to communicate with Earth . There are small backup antennas on the top of each satellite to provide backup communication as required.
Read moreWhat is S-band omni antenna?
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 moreWhat is S band used for?
The S band is mainly used for radar systems such as surface ship radar, weather radar and various communication satellites , like those used by NASA for communicating with the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle.
Read moreWhat is the difference between S band and C-band?
It is not uncommon for a S band dish to exceed 25 feet in size. C band radars operate on a wavelength of 4-8 cm and a frequency of 4-8 GHz . Because of the wavelength and frequency, the dish size does not need to be very large. This makes C band radars affordable for TV stations.
