New antenna system for the German space center (DLR) ground station in Neustreliz for the reception of data from remote sensing satellites (LEO and GEO).
Key technical challenges:
- Lowest possible losses
- Compact feed horn design due to applied coaxial concept
- Machined split block design
- Coaxial S-band tracking
- Highly integrated design
- Combination of three frequency bands
Key functionalities:
- Multi-band application (S-Tx / S-Rx / X-Rx / K-Rx)
- Triple monopulse tracking operation in S- / X- and K-band
