Jotron B120C Combined Ku/Ka-band antenna

Objectives

The objective was to develop new technologies for integrating both Ku-and Ka-Band onto one antenna structure in a cost-effective, high performance solution. A prototype based upon an 85cm antenna was manufactured. Originally an antenna size of 120cm was planned (thus giving the name B120C to the project), but due to market input the smaller size is chosen and considered more appropriate. 
The developed solution was tested and verified against technical requirements set forth in the project.

Challenges

Find a technology for a cost-effective integration of Ku- and Ka-band.

Plan

Finalised development in 2013.

Current Status

Project is finished.
