Low-Profile Antennas

The best short antenna depends on your application, frequency band, and platform constraints. Micro-Ant's Flat Panel Antennas — less than 1 inch thick and weighing under 8 lbs — are among the most capable low-profile options available, offering simultaneous transmit and receive across L- to Ka-band with INMARSAT CAT-01 and CAT-04 certifications.

Micro-Ant's low-profile antennas cover a wide spectrum including S, X, Ku, and Ka-bands for UAV antennas; L- through Ka-band for flat panel antennas; and UHF through Ka-band (750 MHz to 40 GHz) for SATCOM antennas. This full-spectrum capability supports diverse defense, aviation, and satellite communication missions.

Yes. Micro-Ant's UAV Antennas feature a conformal radome design that reduces wind drag on airframes, combined with low weight and small apertures for use with tracking positioners. They comply with MIL-STD mechanical and environmental specifications and are suitable for both UAV and helicopter-mounted applications across defense and civil sectors.

Micro-Ant's low-profile antennas are backed by AS9100:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing. The Flat Panel Antennas hold INMARSAT CAT-01 and CAT-04 certifications. SATCOM antennas comply with ARSTRAT, MIL-STD-810, and FCC standards, and can be certified for all major GEO, MEO, and LEO satellite operators.
