1668-1675 MHz for AES to satellite. Expected Data Rate The data rate through the Small Satcom terminal is dependent upon many factors such as size of ground plane, network congestion, satellite selection, multipath fading, satellite elevation, UAV banking etc. In general, the satellite with the highest elevation will work best and severe banking away from the satellite should be avoided.
1559 to 1610 MHz and 1626.5 to 1675.0 MHz (Satcom band), 83 inch is typically required. GNSS antennas on the UAV should be compliant on DO-229D or later. Page 11 18 Feb 2021 Honeywell International Inc. Do not copy without express permission of Honeywell.
