The FPKU-141020-XX and FPKU-151020-XX are compact, circularly polarized Ku-Band antennas engineered for high-reliability aerospace and defense communication systems. Designed for integration into size-, weight-, and power-constrained (SWaP) platforms, the FPKU series delivers controlled beamwidth, stable radiation characteristics, and low VSWR performance across the specified operating band in a mechanically robust, low-profile configuration.
The FPKU-141020-XX is optimized specifically for Ku-Band SATCOM transmit (TX) frequency coverage, supporting airborne uplink and satellite communication systems that require dependable transmit performance and polarization stability.
The FPKU-151020-XX supports Ku-Band data link applications including Common Data Link (CDL) and Tactical Common Data Link (TCDL) systems, enabling secure, high-throughput communications for ISR platforms, UAVs, tactical ground systems, and mobile communication terminals.
Manufactured using precision RF design methodology and repeatable processes, the FPKU series provides predictable electrical performance, integration simplicity, and mission-ready reliability for demanding operational environments.
