Antenna Systems for Effective Telemetry Solutions

A typical aeronautical telemetry system consists of an onboard transmitter installed on a test aircraft, a ground-based receiving antenna such as Lumistar's LS-08-PS S-Band Planar Antenna, a signal receiver, and data processing equipment. Together, these components capture, transmit, and record flight performance parameters such as speed, altitude, and structural loads in real time.

Lumistar test antennas cover a range of frequency bands including lower L-band, upper L-band, S-band, and NATO E-band (select models). The current LS-08-PS model operates in the S-band, delivering 8 dBi gain for effective signal reception and transmission in flight test telemetry applications.

The LS-08-PS S-Band Planar Antenna provides 8 dBi of gain. This level of gain is well-suited for ground station testing and RF telemetry validation scenarios where reliable signal reception is critical. Its compact, lightweight form factor makes it ideal for portable test setups.

Yes. Lumistar test antennas are designed for both transmit and receive applications. The LS-08-PS planar panel antenna supports bidirectional use, making it versatile for RF telemetry system testing, ground station validation, and signal reception tasks within aerospace and defense programs.

All Lumistar antenna systems are designed and manufactured in the USA. The company is headquartered in San Marcos, California (relocating May 2025) and holds a CAGE Code (718V9) as a recognized Defense Industrial Base supplier, ensuring compliance with US defense procurement and quality standards.
