Large Deployable Antennas
We specialize in design and development of lightweight, low-cost antennas for tactical awareness (SIGINT, Comms, and ISR)
Capability Description: PSI’s highly customizable flex circuit membrane antennas are designed to stow within a small satellite volume for launch and then deploy into an aperture with performance typically associated with much larger and more expensive satellites.
Key Features:
• Extremely high ratio of deployed antenna aperture area vs stowed volume
• Demonstrated narrow and broadband operation in frequency bands between UHF to C-band
• RF and structure designs integrated and optimized through iterative work between collaborative RF and mechanical design teams
• Antennas designed with a “structure is the antenna” approach for volume and mass efficiency by using structural elements as part of the RF design
