X Band High Gain Antenna for Zhu-Rong Mars Rover

Abstract

The high gain antenna of the Zhu-Rong Mars rover is introduced in this paper. The antenna is realized by a compact and light weight reflector. High gain antenna should not only provide uplink and downlink between the Mars and Earth but also transmit the data from the surface of the Mars to the Mars obiter. The important RF test results and environment test results are described in this paper.
