Next-generation broadband satellite operator, Kacific says it has introduced Asia-Pacific’s first HTS (high throughout satellite) Ka-band enterprise backup service, which is described as a service that protects organisations against outages that, it says, happen all too frequently.
In this paper, we propose a wideband microstrip patch antenna for Ka-band CubeSat applications. A square patch antenna printed on a grounded FR4 slab is used as the building block. Furthermore, its performance is enhanced in terms of impedance bandwidth by adding a parasitic element close to the radiating edge of the main patch and by adding slots across the non-radiating edges of the patch to further improve the gain performance. A wide -10dB impedance bandwidth of 21% as well as a -3dB gain bandwidth of 35% across the Kaband were achieved. The antenna presents excellent cross polarization discrimination performance in the E-plane with a maximum gain of 7dBi at 28.3GHz.
The interview arrived after Freddy P called out the hip-hop mogul for how he treated him and the rest of Da Band members on the classic MTV reality TV series.
Arsat, Argentina’s state-owned satellite company, is to run a 289 million-peso (about $2.8 million) project to provide connectivity for free internet access in towns across the country.
