X-Band RHCP TX 2×2 Antenna
CSA-X-001-RH is a COTS 2x2 X-band array covering 8025 to 8400 MHz, the core Earth exploration-satellite service downlink allocation, at 10 dBic typical gain and 70 g. It is the lightest high-gain downlink antenna in this catalogue, in a 71 x 71 x 10 mm footprint that competes minimally with solar panel area. RHCP with 2 to 3 dB axial ratio, 20 W handling, TRL 9 and qualified to NASA GEVS.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
X-band is where Earth observation payload data comes down, and 8025 to 8400 MHz is the allocation most EO missions are licensed into. This array is built for that segment. Gain is 9 to 11 dBic with axial ratio between 2 and 3 dB and VSWR at 2:1, through an SMA female interface. The array measures 71 x 71 x 10 mm (2.8 x 2.8 x 0.4 in) at 70 g, which is light enough to accommodate on a bus where panel area and mass are both fully committed. The array is designed for high-throughput downlink applications in harsh space environments and is well suited to LEO, MEO and GEO missions. Qualification follows NASA GEVS (GSFC-STD-7000) with random vibration to 14.1 GRMS overall across a -70 to +100 °C operating and storage range. ATH-X-001-RH is the matching test hat. Certain small-volume orders can ship within days rather than the months typically quoted for space-qualified hardware.
