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 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 a band antenna?
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 moreWhat is the difference between X band and S band?
X-band is widely used because of the ability to utilize smaller antennas that fit on most boats and to provide better target resolution. S-band radars are often used for specialized applications, such as seeing through heavy weather or precipitation and for long-range bird detection. S-band antennas are larger.
Read moreWhich is better X band or S band radar?
The x-band, being of higher frequency is used for a sharper image and better resolution whereas the S-band is used especially when in rain or fog as well as for identification and tracking.
Read moreWhat does S band stand for?
The S band is a designation by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for a part of the microwave band of the electromagnetic spectrum covering frequencies from 2 to 4 gigahertz (GHz) . Thus it crosses the conventional boundary between the UHF and SHF bands at 3.0 GHz.
