Application of dipole antennas for perspective vehicle-board systems and complexes

At present, there is a need for vehicle-board antenna system of telecommand system. The antenna system includes the receiving antennas, transmitting antennas, power dividers and a cable network. In this paper the antenna system of telecommand system for space vehicles of series “Canopus-V” is designed and presented. In addition to receiving and transmitting antennas, testing complex for full-scale test has been developed. In this paper the results of measurement of voltage standing-wave ratio, radiation pattern, gain of vehicle-board antennas are presented. The obtained results satisfy the technical task for the antenna system for vehicle-board equipment telecommand system.
