L-Band Antennas

L-band antennas operate between 1–2 GHz, while S-band antennas cover 2–4 GHz. L-band offers better signal penetration and longer range with lower data throughput, making it suited for GPS and mobile satellite links, whereas S-band supports higher bandwidth applications like weather radar and some satellite telemetry.

The L-band spans frequencies from 1 GHz to 2 GHz, as defined by the IEEE. This range includes sub-bands used for GPS/GNSS (1.1–1.6 GHz), Iridium satellite communications, and various military and aeronautical telemetry applications requiring reliable long-distance transmission.

L-band frequencies power GPS and GNSS receivers, Iridium and Inmarsat satellite phones, aeronautical telemetry systems, military tactical radios, and Communications-on-the-Move (COTM) terminals. Micro-Ant designs L-band antennas for vehicle-mounted, airborne, maritime, and man-pack platforms across these applications.
