About
The AAC SpaceQuest ANT-GPS Series is a space-qualified L-band patch antenna precisely tuned to the GPS L1 and L2 frequency bands. It provides the RF front-end for GPS/GNSS receivers on small satellites, enabling precise orbit determination and timing.
The antenna is designed primarily for MicroSats and SmallSats but can also be mounted in a recessed configuration on CubeSats, providing installation flexibility for different form factors. Its patch design offers a wide, hemispherical field of view — essential for reliable GPS signal acquisition in any satellite attitude.
Compatible with AAC SpaceQuest’s GNSS-701 receiver for a complete navigation subsystem. Space qualified to withstand the thermal cycling, vacuum, and radiation environment of LEO missions.
