PULSAR-SANT

PULSAR-SANT datasheet Product enquiry PULSAR-SANT CAD MODEL

S-Band CubeSat Antenna

Our nadir facing PULSAR-SANT S-Band patch antenna can be incorporated into the CubeSat design. Its small size, low profile, rugged design and high directionality make it an excellent addition to the system.

The PULSAR-SANT and PULSAR-SANTC S-Band patch antennas are designed to be mounted on the nadir facing side of a 3U CubeSat. Their wide beamwidth ensures satellite communication through a wide range of elevation angles.

The PULSAR-SANT/C was built to the CubeSat standard and was designed for advanced missions. It is machined from solid aluminium.

The S-Band patch antenna is compatible with the STX and HSTX S-Band transmitter products sold by AAC Clyde Space.

Frequencies

Covers both amateur (PULSAR-SANT) and commercial (PULSAR-SANTC) transmit frequencies.

Performance 

Equipped with high gain (> 7dBi), wide beamwidth (60°). Left and right circularly polarised.

Reliability

Machined from solid aluminium parts. Supporting numerous missions to date; the PULSAR-SANT was part of the UKube-1 mission, the UK Space Agency’s first national spacecraft.

Why the Pulsar-SANT?

  • Left or right hand circular polarization
  • Simple integration with structure
  • High gain (7dBi)
  • Supports both amateur and commercial band”
