Anywaves, a provider of high-performance space antennas to power missions ranging from satellites to launchers, rovers, and planetary landers, has developed the GNSS All-Bands Antenna with an integrated LNA card. This antenna is engineered to deliver a clean, high-performance navigation link for LEO spacecraft. By placing a low-noise amplifier (LNA) directly within the antenna, this model minimizes cable losses and improves the overall system noise figure, ensuring that the GNSS receiver operates with the best possible signal quality from the very first stage of the RF chain.
Covering all major GNSS constellations - GPS, Galileo, Glonass, and Beidou - along with L-band services, the antenna maintains stable gain, controlled phase center, and circular polarization across the full 1.16–1.61 GHz range. This ensures precise timing, accurate orbit determination, and resilient positioning in dynamic or interference-prone environments.
The design integrates sharp S-band filtering, providing strong electromagnetic compatibility with onboard S-band antennas. This reduces RF coexistence risks and simplifies spacecraft system engineering.
With its compact <1U footprint, robust PEEK radome, and fully space-qualified architecture, the antenna is optimized for small to mid-size satellite platforms requiring both performance and mechanical efficiency.
