About this technology
Overview
Researchers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center have developed a novel patch antenna technology. This simple antenna design provides significant benefits to NASA satellite communication applications, offering a unique wide-band/multi-band operating capability. For other commercial space or non-space applications, the antenna design also offers broad-band capability with high gain for applications where signal strength, and smaller antenna sizes are important. The technology was developed to address challenges at NASA created by the need to design antennas for satellites where the target communication frequency is unknown or unassigned.
