Astrocast Astronode Patch Antenna

Astrocast Astronode Patch Antenna is a miniaturized antenna designed and optimized for bidirectional communication with Astrocast constellation of IoT satellites in LEO. This antenna’s extremely low profile allows for seamless placement and device integration. The Astronode Patch Antenna is manufactured on a high-permittivity ceramic substrate, resulting in a reduced antenna footprint. This helps maintain good RF performance at the operating frequencies of the Astrocast network in the L-band. Additionally, the antenna supports GNSS reception at the L1 band (1575MHz). Typical applications include container tracking, fishing buoys, fuel management, precision farming, weather data, and flow monitoring.
