piPATCH-LG/FM (Flight Model)

Space-Friendly™ GPS / GLONASS Antenna

Are you looking for a high gain CubeSat GPS Antenna supporting  GLONASS constellation receiver equipment (GPS-L1, GLONASS-G1)? The piPATCH-LG is a High Quality, High Gain Antenna with low noise, RF filters and uniform radiation pattern intended for a Z+/- CubeSat wall. The antenna is ideal for Nadir/Zenith oriented satellites such as ground-scanning telescope missions, ensuring the orientation towards the GNSS zenith with a Z-face.

The module size 98x98 mm and very low profile is ideal for standard CubeSat structure envelopes. Connect the RF Coaxial cable with DC power from 2.7 to 5.5V and start to receive first signals from GPS and GLONASS constellation with your GNSS Receiver in minutes!

piPATCH-LG/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.
