About this technology

Overview

NASA is increasingly designing payloads that require telecommunication transmissions. These payloads increase the competition for telecommunication bandwidth between space and earth. However, increasing the transmission data rate leads to a higher noise to signal ratios. The innovation is an antenna design that enables large amounts of data to be sent and received at a high data rate.
