At BIG SIGNAL, we remain committed to bringing you the latest in antenna solutions for amateur radio enthusiasts, and today we're excited to introduce our newest innovation: the BIG SIGNAL SpaceQuad antenna, the first portable V-UHF Quad antenna on the market.
Here are a few reasons why the SpaceQuad stands out from other options:
- Unprecedented lightness: Weighing only 425 grams / 14,99 oz, the SpaceQuad is so lightweight that you can operate it by hand effortlessly, with no concerns about weight during your operations.
- Compact design: With a boom of just 56 cm, the SpaceQuad is the world's first portable cubic antenna. Its compact design doesn't compromise its performance, allowing you to operate easily with any active SAT.
- Ultra-fast assembly: Tired of wasting time assembling complicated antennas? The SpaceQuad can be fully set up in under 5 minutes without any tools, allowing you to get on the air in record time.
- Superior performance on amateur radio satellites:
The SpaceQuad has been optimized to operate on the 145.8 and 435.5 MHz segments, with 2 full-wave Quad elements on the VHF band and 4 elements on UHF, achieving a 50 Ohm design that requires no impedance matching, avoiding losses and providing you with exceptional gain and bandwidth. Why settle for less when you can have the best?
Additionally, the Quad design of this antenna offers greater resistance to cross-polarization compared to traditional Yagi antennas, which means less signal variation (QSB) and less signal loss, eliminating the need for abrupt wrist movements during operation.
With its innovative design, extreme portability, and easy assembly, the SpaceQuad will allow you to enjoy an unmatched amateur satellite experience, anywhere and anytime.
Are you ready to explore new horizons in the world of satellites? The BIG SIGNAL SpaceQuad is here to make it happen!

Tuve el privilegio de probar una unidad en Iberradio como AO1IBR, por gentileza de Juan Pedro, EA5GJ.
Es una pequeña GRAN ANTENA, la utilizamos en varios pases de diferentes satélites, pero la prueba de fuego fue en el JO-97, en un pase rozando al horizonte (7 grados de elevación máxima), y casi detrás de algunos edificios! Llegábamos al satélite sin problemas!
Es muy ligera, y al ser el boom corto, el centro de gravedad no está lejos de la empuñadura, por lo que no se siente ningún tipo de fatiga en lo que dura un pase.
En fin materiales de primera calidad y una vez desmontada (se monta y desmonta en pocos minutos), "casi" cabe en un bolsillo. ;-)
100% recomendable!
