Testing of Antesky 1.2m Automatic Flyaway Antenna With X Band Antesky 1.2m Automatic Flyaway Antenna With X Band

With the emergence of commercial aerospace and the development of 5G technology, the satellite frequency resources requirements and data transmission bandwidth and speed have become increasingly important. In this time, X band can meet to meet new requirements of higher wireless communication frequency bands for satellite operators.

Introduction and application of X band

X-band refers to the frequency band operating in the 7-12 GHz range. X-band has the advantages of high signal-to-noise ratio, low power consumption and high anti-interference capability. Its applications mainly include:

Radar Systems: X band is extensively used in radar systems for various purposes such as weather monitoring, air traffic control, maritime surveillance, and military applications. Its shorter wavelength allows for better resolution and accuracy in target detection and tracking.
Satellite Communications: X band is utilized for satellite communications, including satellite broadcasting, satellite internet services, and military satellite communications. Its relatively high frequency enables higher data transfer rates compared to lower frequency bands.
Remote Sensing: X band is employed in remote sensing applications such as environmental monitoring, agriculture, forestry, and geological surveys. Its ability to penetrate through foliage and clouds makes it suitable for certain remote sensing applications.
Navigation Systems: X band is used in various navigation systems, including marine and aviation radar systems, as well as in GPS augmentation systems for improved accuracy.
Scientific Research: X band is utilized in scientific research applications such as radio astronomy for studying celestial objects and phenomena.
Military Applications: X band is extensively used in military applications for radar systems, communication, electronic warfare, and missile guidance systems due to its ability to provide high-resolution imaging and target discrimination.

Overall, the X band’s characteristics make it suitable for a wide range of applications that require high resolution, accuracy, and data transfer rates.

This January, customer ordered 1 set of 1.2m automatic flyaway antenna with X band (Rx.: 7.25～7.75GHz; Tx.: 7.9～8.4GHz) from Antesky. And we’d tested and debugged in our factory. Below we will show you further detailed introduction about this antenna.
