MIRAD microwave has successfully participated in the exhibition "Space Tech Expo Europe 2022" and was present with a booth in the exhibition hall 5 in Bremen, Germany, from 15th to 17th November,…
Since Ka-band frequencies have been made available for satellite communications, data can be transmitted at significantly higher bandwidths. The 30/20 GHz Ka-band was first used in the experimental ACTS Gigabit…
The UK's Goonhilly Earth Station complex has developed the capability to support lunar and deep space missions for agencies, institutions and private companies. To do this, its 30- and 32-meter…
The first generation of the feed system has been designed and delivered to our customer in 2015. This initial design combines the three S-, X- & K-band frequency ranges in…
Another triband feed system solution was requested by one of our customers in 2019. The question arose about the possibility of providing a simultaneous receive feed for very broadband signal…
After the successful design and project completion of the Q/V band feed prototype, our customer Calian asked MIRAD to quote for 10 units of a Ka/Q/V-band feed system at the…
In early 2015, MIRAD was contracted to develop two feed systems operating in X-band. One unit is to be installed in a 9m class step-track antenna, while the second unit…
The Alphasat I-XL, launched in 2013, included beyond its main task several ESA TDPs (Technology Demonstration Payloads). TDP5 includes a Q-/V Band communications experiment to assess the feasibility of these bands for future commercial applications.
The Galileo Project is Europe's initiative for a state-of-the-art global satellite navigation system, providing a highly accurate, guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control. The fully deployed system will consist of 30 satellites and the associated ground infrastructure.
In the early 2000s, more and more satellite missions were planned to collect large amounts of data or to enable broadband communications. At that time, however, only few ground stations…
