Metamaterial Antennas for Satellite IoT Market

on 21 Feb 2020 in News |

“METIoT – Full Duplex Steerable Antenna for Mass Market Interactive Terminals” is the full title of the latest RF Microtech project approved by the European Space Agency. The project objective is the development and experimental verification of a novel class of low cost fully steerable Ka band antenna for SATcom applications based on an innovative use of metasurface technology. The market targeted is IoT where low-power (for battery-run operations) and low-cost are key aspects. RF Microtech is the main proponent and prime contractor of the project, that will be carried out in collaboration with two other Italian SME operating in the space field, namely WAVE UP and LINKS For more information don’t hesitate to  contact us...

Miniaturized Filters for on-board processor-based payloads

on 9 Jan 2020 in News |

RF Microtech has been awarded a new ESA ARTES AT project entitled COKKO ‘COmpact Ku/Ka-band filters for On-board processor-based payloads’ The project goal is the development and space assessment of miniaturised Ku– and Ka-band RF filters integrating a wide-band differential interface for on-board digital signal processors. Up to 30% size reduction can be achieved by combining advanced design techniques with three-dimensional implementation techniques such as Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) or multilayer Printed Circuit Boards (PCB).   RF Microtech is the main proponent and prime contractor of the project, that will be conducted in collaboration with Thales Alenia Space – Italy For more information contact us and visit the project web page at this...
