Full Motion LEO Tracking Antennas

Micro-Ant's tracking antennas cover the full microwave spectrum from UHF through Ka-band (750 MHz to 40 GHz), including L, S, C, X, and Ku-bands. This broad coverage supports Iridium Certus, Inmarsat, Intelsat, Eutelsat, SES O3B, Thuraya, and Hughes networks, giving integrators flexibility to select the optimal band for their specific LEO, MEO, or GEO mission requirements.

Yes. Micro-Ant's switched beam electronically steered arrays (ESAs) provide hemispherical coverage with near-instantaneous, make-before-break switching between all visible LEO satellites, maintaining continuous connectivity even from moving maritime or airborne platforms as satellites move in and out of view during a low-orbit pass.

These antennas are engineered for vehicle-mounted, shipboard, airborne (UAV, helicopter, and fuselage), man-pack/body-worn, and fixed ground-based installations. Each configuration is custom-designed to meet specific weight, aperture, and environmental constraints, from covert carry-on flat panels to two-meter parabolic reflectors for high-throughput satellite links.

Yes. Products are manufactured to MIL-STD-810 environmental and mechanical specifications and hold ARSTRAT certification, alongside AS9100:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 quality management certifications. Many models also carry satellite operator certifications such as INMARSAT CAT-01/CAT-04, Iridium Certus, Intelsat, and Eutelsat for defense and government deployment.

Mechanically steered antennas use gimbaled parabolic reflectors that physically rotate to follow a satellite, offering high gain in compact apertures. Electronically steered arrays (ESAs) use beam switching across multiple radiating elements with no moving parts, enabling near-instantaneous tracking and greater durability for rugged, high-vibration maritime and vehicular environments.

These antennas serve defense and intelligence agencies, commercial and government maritime fleets, aviation and UAV operators, and SATCOM/telecom providers requiring reliable connectivity in remote or challenging environments. Applications include search-and-rescue, communications-on-the-move, electronic warfare, weather tracking, and high-throughput satellite data backhaul.
