The KSLA-231025-RH is a high-performance K-band antenna engineered for space, airborne, and high-capacity datalink applications requiring exceptional link margin, polarization purity, and power handling. Operating over 22.5–23.5 GHz, the antenna delivers 25.3 dBic gain, tight 9° beamwidth, and right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) in a compact, rugged form factor optimized for demanding aerospace environments.
Designed for next-generation spacecraft crosslinks, TT&C expansion bands, ISR payloads, and high-data-rate point-to-point links, the KSLA-231025-RH provides significantly higher power handling (50 W CW) and superior axial ratio (< 1.5) compared to typical K-band patch or low-profile solutions, enabling cleaner polarization performance and increased system EIRP.
