Thinkom Highlights Advanced Satellite Payload Antennas for Space Communications
January 21, 2026
Below are a few excerpts from SATNow's January 21st article detailing ThinKom's phased array antennas for space payload.
Built around the company’s patented Variable Inclination Continuous Transverse Stub (VICTS) antenna technology, these payload antennas address the growing demand for compact, efficient and mechanically robust RF solutions for modern spacecraft platforms.
The antennas are designed to operate across high-frequency bands, including Ku and Ka-band and are optimized for demanding space environments where reliability, radiation tolerance and thermal resilience are critical.
For small satellites and CubeSat-class spacecraft, the VICTS antennas provide a practical pathway to achieving high-throughput communications within constrained mass, power and volume envelopes...By reducing antenna subsystem complexity, Thinkom’s technology supports faster spacecraft integration cycles and lowers overall system development risk.
By combining high-performance RF characteristics with low power consumption, compact form factors and simplified integration, the company supports satellite manufacturers, constellation operators and space agencies seeking reliable, flexible and future-ready antenna solutions.
