Designed to support reflector diameters from 1.8 m up to 4.0 m, with a smaller 0.9–1.5 m version coming in 2026, the Sicilsat XY Antenna is built for multi-mission operations including:
Telemetry, Telecommand, High-rate Data Downlink, Earth Observation, SAR, and Remote Sensing.
🔧 Key Technical Highlights:
• High-accuracy XY tracking optimized for fast-slewing LEO satellites
• Operational continuity with wind gusts up to 100 km/h and survival up to 180 km/h
• FEM-optimized, welding-free structure for maximum stiffness and stability
• Wideband support up to Ka-band for future-proof operations
• Maximum slewing speed: 10°/s on each axis
• Advanced calibration models minimizing pointing error over the full sky
🛰️ Modular & Scalable Architecture
A single mechanical platform supports multiple reflector sizes, enabling:
• Fast deployment and easier maintenance
• Reduced lifecycle costs through replaceable modules
• Seamless performance upgrades without structural redesign
• Ideal integration into distributed and multi-site ground networks
⚙️ Advanced ACU Control System
The dedicated Antenna Control Unit supports:
• Program Track (via TLE)
• Step Track (optional)
• Monopulse Tracking (optional)
With Ethernet, Modbus, SNMP, GPS-1PPS, and NTP for precise synchronization and full remote monitoring.
📈 Proven Performance – 3.7 m X-Band Version
• RX Gain @ 7.5 GHz: 47.6 dBi
• TX Gain @ 8.1 GHz: 48.2 dBi
• G/T @ 7.9 GHz: 27.3 dB/K
This project represents the result of intense R&D, engineering expertise, and teamwork — a further step forward in consolidating Sicilsat as a reliable technological partner for satellite ground infrastructures worldwide.
