About S-band & X-band antennas

The S and X bands antennas designed by ANYWAVES are telemetry antennas for smallsats. The S-band one works on frequencies from 2.025 and 2.29 GHz and is optimized for platforms’ telemetry and telecommand. This antenna is associated with SYRLINKS S-band EWC31 transceiver for smallsats.

The X-band one works on higher frequencies (from 8.025 up to 8.4GHz). It has been developed for high data rate payload telemetry and is associated with SYRLINKS high data rate EWC27 transceiver for smallsats.
Both antennas received their space heritage in December 2019 thanks to their actual use on Eysat and Angels, two French Space Agency’s smallsats currently in orbit.
