Safran DSI - SPARTE e100 Flight Test Antenna based on Electronic Beam Steering Technology
The SPARTE e100 is a hybrid antenna addressing the telemetry applications in S-Band, including hypersonic test articles.
The antenna is a combination of an Electronic Beam Steering supporting any elevation from -5° up to +95° and a single-axis mechanical rotation of the patch panel providing unlimited azimuth. The patch panel’s size enables the SPARTE e100 to achieve telemetry reception performance comparable to that of a 1.2m diameter dual-axis antenna.
This is achieved with a significantly simpler mechanical design, ensuring easier maintenance throughout the antenna’s operational lifespan.
The SPARTE e100’s rapid tracking capabilities, reaching speeds of up to 60°/s in azimuth and virtually infinite in elevation, make it an ideal “lock-on” antenna.
