TEKNOKAR S-Band Patch Antenna: SAGE-tested telemetry antenna
Quick answer: The S-Band Patch Antenna TKR-PAN-FSP-100 is a high-gain microstrip (patch) antenna made by TEKNOKAR Savunma ve Havacılık A.Ş. for telemetry systems and tactical missile/UAV data links. According to the company’s official datasheet, it operates in the 2.32-2.38 GHz band, has 8.6 dBi nominal gain, and its environmental and electrical tests were carried out by TÜBİTAK SAGE.
Technical specifications
Per the datasheet, the antenna’s electrical specifications are: frequency 2.32-2.38 GHz, bandwidth 60 MHz, gain 8.6 dBi nominal, beamwidth approximately 76° (elevation) x 74° (azimuth), VSWR below 1.3:1, linear (vertical) polarization, cross-polarization isolation above 25 dB, front-to-back ratio above 25 dB, and maximum 10 W power handling. Mechanically, it has a female SMA connector, a glossy white radome, weighs roughly 212.4 grams, and is rated for operation between -40°C and +70°C. The product is described as compliant with the MIL-STD-810F environmental standard.
TÜBİTAK SAGE testing
The TÜBİTAK SAGE logo appears at the top of the datasheet, and the document explicitly states that the antenna’s “environmental laboratory tests and electrical tests were carried out by TÜBİTAK SAGE.” This is consistent with the “approved supplier to TÜBİTAK SAGE” relationship also mentioned on TEKNOKAR’s about page.
What is it for, and which platforms use it?
The datasheet lists telemetry systems, tactical missile data links, UAV data links and space applications as its application areas. A hemispherical radiation pattern and lightweight microstrip construction allow the antenna to be mounted flush with a platform’s surface.
See this page for details on the company’s other telemetry antenna, the S-Band Blade Antenna. Although both products operate in a similar frequency band (S-band), they differ in mounting style, radiation pattern and gain; see this page for a detailed comparison.
Users and deliveries
The company has not made any public statement identifying specific projects or platforms where this antenna is in use, how many units have been delivered, or which countries it has been sold to. Not officially disclosed. The “space applications” reference in the datasheet indicates the product is not limited to atmospheric platforms and could be considered for satellite or launch-system projects, but no named project or customer information has been shared on that front either.
Pricing and supply
TEKNOKAR does not publicly publish the antenna’s unit price, minimum order quantity or lead time. Pricing for this category of defense component is typically determined through a project-based quotation process, so there is no published list price. Not officially disclosed.
