Oxford Space Systems · Supports System
“Our deployable Hinged Rib is a stowage efficient, high performance, dual band antenna. It can operate from Ku-band to Ka-band frequencies, providing high gain while fitting within a 3U stowed volume”
- 5CompanyOFFSET REFLECTOR
Oxford Space Systems · Supports System
“The Oxford Space Systems Deployable Offset Reflector Antenna is a cost competitive, reduced complexity alternative to current architectures. The patented self-synchronised design reduces both mass and complexity as well as offering some unique features that significantly reduce single point failure modes during deployment. This architecture provides a step change in capability for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) smallsats operating in low Earth orbit (LEO). Offset antennas are scalable from 3.5m to 12m in diameter and utilise Oxford Space Systems' proprietary composite membrane reflector surface.”

Oxford Space Systems · Supports System
“WRAPPED RIB Play Stowage Efficient Low Mass Tuneable and Scalable Single Shot Deployment High Performance Metal-Mesh RF Reflector Surface []() The Oxford Space Systems Wrapped-Rib antenna is a deployable Cassegrain, centre fed antenna that aims to be the go-to antenna for low Earth orbit (LEO), X-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) applications. The Wrapped-Rib is scalable from 3m to 5m diameter and utilises a metal-mesh reflector surface”
- 7CompanyYAGI ANTENNA
Oxford Space Systems · Supports System
“The Oxford Space Systems Yagi is a very high frequency (VHF), high gain, directional antenna, designed to maximise stowage efficiency. Yagi antennas are primarily designed to meet the requirements of satellite Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) and VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) missions providing maritime tracking services.”
