Beacon Antenna - High Temperature Space Environment AO5459NASA

Frequency Range: 5.4 - 5.9 GHz

Applications

  • NASA Sounding Rockets

The Model AO5459NASA antenna is a slotted blade utilizing only stainless steel and teflon construction.  The rugged construction allows operation at the high temperatures encountered in missile re-entries

Power Divider Model PD5459NASA

Matched power dividers are used when systems require two or more antennas to acheive spherical coverage.  Usually two antennas are placed diametrically apart and fed 180° out of phase.
