Satellite Communication Antennas

Micro-Ant antennas hold certification-ready test reports for major operators including Intelsat, Eutelsat, Inmarsat Global Express, SES O3B, Iridium Certus, Thuraya, and Hughes, plus military ARSTRAT certification. This ensures antennas meet stringent pattern mask and performance requirements before fielding.

Micro-Ant offers parabolic reflectors, flat panel antennas, phased array/ESA beam-switching antennas, and conformal low-profile designs. Aperture sizes range from 8 inches to 2 meters, allowing selection based on gain requirements, platform constraints, and mounting type—vehicle, airborne, maritime, man-pack, or fixed ground-based.

Yes, all antennas are custom-engineered for the target platform, including helicopter and fuselage mounts, UAV/drone tracking positioners, vehicle-mounted COTM systems, shipboard installations, and body-worn man-pack terminals. Designs account for weight, aerodynamic drag, vibration, and environmental exposure specific to each platform.

Yes, antennas are engineered to MIL-STD-810 environmental standards and MIL-STD mechanical specifications, ensuring reliable performance under extreme temperatures, vibration, rugged terrain, and constant obstruction. This makes them suitable for Communications-on-the-Move, electronic warfare, and tactical field deployments.

Micro-Ant is AS9100:2016 certified for aerospace quality management and ISO 9001:2015 certified for quality management systems. All antennas undergo rigorous testing at the Jacksonville, FL facility using spherical and planar near-field scanners covering 750 MHz to 40 GHz before shipment.

Micro-Ant provides end-to-end support including custom design and engineering, antenna characterization on varied ground planes, certification testing, and technical consultation from a team with over 100 years of combined antenna testing experience, guiding customers from concept through satellite operator certification.
