Panel Antennas

Micro-Ant specializes in mission-critical defense, SATCOM, aviation, and maritime panel antennas rather than consumer television reception. For free over-the-air TV, a UHF/VHF directional panel or Yagi antenna from a consumer electronics supplier would be more appropriate. Micro-Ant's portfolio is engineered for professional and government-grade applications.

A Yagi antenna uses a driven element with parasitic directors and reflectors arranged along a boom, providing high gain in a narrow beam. A panel antenna uses a flat aperture with multiple radiating elements, offering a broader, more controlled beam pattern. Panel antennas are typically more compact, lighter, and better suited for vehicle-mounted, airborne, or covert applications.

Micro-Ant's flat panel antennas cover L-Band through Ka-Band frequencies, including UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, and Ka-bands spanning 750 MHz to 40 GHz. The award-winning Ultra-Wide Band Ka Flat Panel covers 17.7–21.2 GHz receive and 27.5–31 GHz transmit, enabling multi-operator satellite connectivity across LEO, MEO, and GEO orbits.

Yes. Micro-Ant's flat panel antennas hold INMARSAT CAT-01 and CAT-04 certifications and are certified for major satellite operators including Intelsat, Eutelsat, Inmarsat, SES O3B, Iridium Certus, Thuraya, and Hughes. The manufacturing facility is AS9100:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified, and ARSTRAT certifications are also available for defense applications.

Micro-Ant's Ka Flat Panel is less than 1 inch thick, measures 12x17 inches, and weighs under 8 lbs — making it carry-on sized with no assembly required. This slim, lightweight profile makes it ideal for covert operations, field-deployable nodes, vehicular tracking, and aviation applications where size and weight constraints are critical.
