MASCOT antennas missionCommunication architecture baseline :
► JAXA RF-module will be integrated inside MASCOT (at the sides of the MASCOT E-Box)
► Redundant transceiver with two antennas (one on the top and on the bottom) to ensure RF-link between Mascot and HY-2 durind Surface Operation Phase
► MASCOT-dedicated antenna on MESS for RF-link during cruise

CNES Antenna team development
MASCOT (DLR ) is one of the 2 landers of HAYABUSA-2 (JAXA)
CNES provide RF expertise and UHF antennas to DLR who isresponsible of the UHF Prox Link MASCOT-HB2

MASCOT antennas accommodation and main
specifications
Strong accommodation and mass constraints
► Patch antenna solution preferred
► Antennas are adapted on the frequency band [954.3 – 954.7] MHz
► Spherical coverage with one antenna on each side
► Strong temperature range to take into account
► Polarization is circular (LHCP or RHCP TBC)

MASCOT antenna design and main performances
► Several patch designs & radomes have been realized to measure there effects
► The overall structure of antennas has been incorporated in dedicated tool to take into account all material effect
► Good behavior of first prototype in terms of measured gain (better than -10dB in any directions)
► Higher antenna dimension less than 105 mm with no more than 75 g mass (square or circular patch)
► Need to be improved to face with frequency variations against temperature (around -100 to +100°C)

► RF link for rosetta mission
CNES is responsible of the S-band proximity link of Rosetta, for the air interface. CNES specified and procured the S band ISL Equipments ( Rx/Tx from Syrlinks – also used on « Deep Impact »of NASA- and antennas )
ROSETTA : an ESA/DLR/CNES cometarian mission

Antenna accommodation and associated constraints
► Initial accommodation analysis of patch TM/TC antenna
► On the orbiter
► On the lander
► Realization of S band patch antennas for TM/TC orbiter and lander RF link
► Optimisation of antennas accommodation to minimise environment influence
► Realization of dedicated mockups for
► The comet face of the orbiter
► The lander
► Compact Range measurements and
► optimization of antennas location
► on both structures

► Objectives:Objectives: study highly integrated components (RFIC & Base band) issued from Mobile Phone technologies, and design adaptations to be compliant to micro Prox-Links and micro TTC requirements of very small platforms (e.g. nano & pico satellites, HAYABUSA-2 like landers).
► Requirements: design a TTC transponder or Prox-Link equipement compatible in terms of frequency (S-Band EES or UHF 900 MHz), waveforms (up: PCM/PM, down: OQPSK/GMSK : for TTC; more open for Prox-Links), data rates (up: (o) 10kbps; down: (o) 1 Mbps), size and consumption adapted to constraints of very small platforms.
► Calendar: 2009-20102009-2010 (initial study: 3 months for identifying components according preliminary requirements), 2011 2011 & 2012& 2012 (2x8 months studies: produce several designs & approaches, validate design through simulations, and evaluate components in hardness environment). Industrial Partner: a major ICs supplier.
► Results: Two components identified: RFIC 2G/3G/LTE (inc. LNAs, flexible frequency synthesis, DACs/ADCs, AGC, D/C cancellation, Doppler precompensation), and Base Band chip (ASIC with reprogrammable part: embedded I/F controller with RFIC, Doppler cancellation with Phase / Time recovery, Modem).
Estimated max (worst case). DC consumption (Full Duplex mode): 450mW (RFIC) + 240mW (BB) / Size: 50 mm² (RFIC) + 64mm² (BB).
On-going (2012; early 2013):On-going (2012; early 2013): finalize transponder design and approach (coherent / non-coherent), evaluate components in hardness environment
