Communications & Power Industries (CPI)<\/strong> will showcase two of its latest antenna technologies in booth #2506 at the SATELLITE Conference and Exhibition 2026, March 23-26, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Starfield is a portable multi-orbit, multi-mission, constellation-agnostic tactical flyaway antenna terminal. Its hybrid carbon fiber\/aluminum superstructure is engineered to lead the industry in lightweight performance. Designed to be rapidly deployed in high-pressure conflict situations, the 2.4m tactical antenna can be assembled, tool free, in under 20 minutes utilizing interchangeable and field-replaceable carbon fiber reflector panels. CPI’s Starfield antenna terminal provides global LEO, MEO and GEO transmit and receive capabilities in L-Band through Ka-Band frequencies and maintains reliable connectivity under extreme conditions. It is suitable for military and commercial uses.<\/p>\n Stardust is a multi-orbit, constellation-agnostic gateway terminal available in 2.4m and 4.0m diameters (up to 5.5m available upon request) and designed for superior performance at Ka-Band and Q\/V-Band frequencies. It is custom engineered to meet the high-volume production and rapid-deployment needs of large, modern LEO and MEO satellite constellations without sacrificing the efficient operation and dependable performance necessary to support the demanding specifications of current and next-generation satellite constellations. With an embedded controller and digital receiver to track satellites in all orbits, integrated RF electronics that can be upgraded for use with future networks, and a novel, integrated anti-icing system, the Stardust gateway terminal leverages the noteworthy combination of CPI’s extensive industry experience, proven reliability and state-of-the-art antenna technologies. CPI’s Stardust gateway antenna terminal is suitable for military and commercial uses.<\/p>\n CPI will feature satellite communications amplifiers, including TWTAs (traveling wave tube amplifiers) and SSPAs (solid-state power amplifiers), in its booth at the SATELLITE Conference and Exhibition. Of particular note, CPI’s rugged gallium nitride (GaN) SSPAs, which are optimized to support modern, multi-orbit satellite constellations and provide reliable, high-power performance in demanding environments, will be on display. The compact form factor of these ground-based satcom amplifiers is ideal for space-constrained installations. Additionally, a 250W V-Band TWTA that is deployed and operational in multiple high-throughput satellite (HTS) ground stations and a 750W Ka-Band TWTA that offers best-in-class linear power will be available for viewing.<\/p>\n Representatives will also be on hand to discuss CPI’s portfolio of ground-based, aircraft and naval radomes for both military and commercial applications. These high-performance radomes, which are available in both customized and commercial off-the-shelf configurations, are suitable for communications, radar, electronic warfare and signal intelligence operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Communications & Power Industries (CPI) will showcase two of its latest antenna technologies in booth #2506 at the SATELLITE Conference and Exhibition 2026, March 23-26, at the Walter E.
