Supporting the Next Generation of Satellite Connectivity
The satellite industry is undergoing rapid transformation. With the rise of large LEO constellations, advanced communications payloads, and rapidly expanding ground infrastructure, manufacturers are searching for technologies that deliver both high performance and scalable production.
Flexible electronics are playing a growing role across the satellite ecosystem. In ground stations, user terminals, and satellite subsystems, lightweight RF structures, antennas, and sensors are increasingly required where performance, reliability, and manufacturing efficiency are critical.
DP Patterning’s patented Dry Phase Patterning (DPP) process enables conductive structures on flexible substrates using solid metal layers rather than printed conductive inks. Instead of depositing conductive pastes such as silver inks, DPP patterns thin metal foils directly through a mechanical milling reel-to-reel process.
This approach provides several advantages compared with printed electronics:
- 2–3× higher electrical conductivity compared with printed silver inks
- Improved RF performance for antennas and high-frequency applications
- Cost efficiency at scale, avoiding expensive silver-based materials
- Scalable reel-to-reel manufacturing suitable for high-volume electronics production
- Significantly lower environmental impact, reducing carbon emissions by up to 98–99% compared with conventional wet etching
These characteristics make DPP particularly attractive for RF structures used in satellite ground equipment, communication terminals, and lightweight aerospace electronics, where performance, cost efficiency, and sustainability increasingly go hand in hand.
Potential Applications in the Satcom Ecosystem
Using the DPP process, conductive RF structures can be manufactured on flexible substrates for applications such as:
- Patch antennas and antenna arrays used in satellite user terminals and communication equipment
- Reflectors and metasurface structures for beam shaping in ground station systems
- RF filters and resonator structures used in satellite communication hardware
- NFC and RFID solutions for asset tracking, authentication, and logistics within satellite and aerospace supply chains
Meeting the Satellite Community
SATShow Week serves as a key meeting point for the global satellite ecosystem, connecting technology developers with system integrators, operators, and government agencies shaping the future of space infrastructure.
For DP Patterning, the event represents an opportunity to engage directly with companies developing satellite platforms, RF systems, and next-generation connectivity solutions.
About DP Patterning
Founded in 2013, DP Patterning builds on over 15 years of innovation to transform ideas into practical, sustainable, and profitable solutions. Working closely with the Swedish Research Institute RISE, the company develops technologies grounded in advanced material science and state-of-the-art expertise.
The technology has shown immense potential in several sectors:
- Antennas: A transformative solution in a rapidly expanding market, e.g. patch antennas, NFC, and UHF.
- Automotive: DP Patterning supports the fast-paced growth of automotive electronics, e.g. Cell Connecting Systems, flexible heaters, and LED lightning.
- Replace Silver print – By replacing traditional silver printing with the DPP process, customers can reduce production costs and increase conductivity for Flex PCBs. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as antennas, keyboards, electrodes, and more.
