piPATCH-MAX/FM (Flight Model)

Space-Friendly™ Microsatellite GNSS Antenna

Do you plan to build and Launch a Microsatellite and need a SatNav Equipment Onboard? Are you looking for a high precission Multi Constellation receiver equipment (GPS-L1, GLONASS-G1, GALILEO-E1, BEIDOU-B1) antenna? The piPATCH-MAX is a High Quality Antenna with low noise, RF filters, high gain and appropriate radiation pattern capturing all available signals from the GNSS constellation especially designed for works under direct sunny and plasma environment. The embedded ESD protection is included.

The module carries a mounting bracket made of AL-6061-T6 Aluminum with aerospace tensile strength, acting as groundplane which naturally equalizes the antenna radation pattern.

Connect the RF Coaxial cable with DC power from 2.7 to 5.5V and start to receive first signals from GNSS constellation with your GNSS Receiver in minutes!

piPATCH-MAX/EM (Engineering Model)

Each GNSS receiver is extremelly sensitive to EMI/EMC environment on the satellite. Check that the GNSS functionality is not disturbed by the satellite subsystems (Power Supplies, MPPT Controllers, Magnetorquers, Reaction Wheels, transmitters, receivers with local oscillators, all the PWM driven electronics,...) well before the spaceflight. The Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) Test can be performed easily with the fully functional Engineering Model of the antenna anytime during the whole satellite development and testing campaign.

It is also ready to be connected to the Flight Model of the GNSS Receiver. Red Remove Before Flight finish will remind you to replace it with the Flight Model of the antenna before the launch.
