Ka-Band Phased Array Antennas for Satellite

The antennas are certified for LEO, MEO, and GEO satellite constellations, including operators such as Intelsat, Eutelsat, Inmarsat, SES O3B, Thuraya, Hughes, and Iridium Certus. This broad compatibility supports seamless handoff between constellations for continuous connectivity across defense, maritime, and commercial missions.

Switched beam electronically steered arrays (ESAs) combine multiple radiating elements to achieve near-instantaneous, make-before-break tracking between visible satellites. This maintains uninterrupted connectivity even from moving platforms like ships and aircraft, eliminating the connection drops common with mechanically steered antennas.

These antennas support vehicle-mounted, airborne (UAV, helicopter, fuselage), maritime shipboard, and ground-based/fixed installations. Custom mechanical and environmental designs address each platform's vibration, temperature, and space constraints while maintaining consistent RF performance.

All antennas are manufactured under AS9100:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified processes, with MIL-STD-810 environmental compliance for rugged defense applications. Every unit undergoes rigorous testing, and certification-ready test reports are provided for FCC and satellite operator approval requirements.

Yes, Micro-Ant designs bespoke phased array antennas addressing specific frequency bands, gain, aperture size, and environmental requirements. With over 1,000 custom products delivered, the engineering team optimizes each design for applications ranging from Electronic Warfare to high-throughput SATCOM connectivity.

Data rates depend on the satellite network and antenna configuration, with High Throughput Satellite (HTS) connectivity enabled across LEO, MEO, and GEO orbits. Ka-band's wide bandwidth allows significantly higher throughput than lower frequency bands, supporting demanding applications like video backhaul and COTM data links.
