Antennas developed and used by SatNOGS rotators

SatNOGS antennas

To cover the needs of the SatNOGS community the SatNOGS team has developed a number of antennas.

Yagi

A Yagi antenna is the simplest antenna for the novice maker.

Cross Yagi UHF v1

A cross Yagi UHF antenna.

  • Design files: v1

Helical v1

The first iteration of our helical UHF antenna allows users to create there own helical antenna design using only 3D printed parts.

  • Design files: [1]
  • Assembly instructions: [2]

Helical v2

The second iteration is more rigid, but you need to have access to CNCed parts.

  • Design files: [3]
  • Assembly instructions: [4]
