About
Rapidtek’s Dual S-Band Patch Antenna Array integrates both Rx and Tx patch elements with built-in LNA (low-noise amplifier) and PA (power amplifier) in a single compact assembly. It covers the Rx band at 2025–2110 MHz and the Tx band at 2200–2290 MHz. The pre-configurable RHCP polarization delivers 5.5±0.3 dBiC gain on Rx and 6.1±0.2 dBiC on Tx. Integrated amplification provides >17 dB gain on the receive path and >33 dB on transmit, significantly reducing the link budget requirements on the satellite bus. Weighing 107 g, it is designed for direct integration on CubeSat panels.
