Telemetry Antennas for Defense and Aerospace Programs

Telemetry radio range varies based on frequency band, antenna gain, transmitter power, and line-of-sight conditions, typically spanning from a few kilometers for line-of-sight ground systems up to hundreds of kilometers for high-altitude airborne or satellite-relayed links. Higher-gain, custom-engineered antennas like Micro-Ant's designs extend usable range while maintaining signal integrity in contested environments.

Micro-Ant's telemetry antennas operate across the full microwave spectrum, including UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, and Ka-bands (750 MHz to 40 GHz). This wide frequency coverage supports diverse defense and aerospace telemetry, tracking, and SATCOM requirements across airborne, maritime, and ground-based platforms.

Yes. All antennas are manufactured under AS9100:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified quality systems, comply with MIL-STD mechanical and environmental specifications, and are ARSTRAT certified where applicable. Antennas also meet FCC and satellite operator certification requirements for programs requiring FAA airworthiness compliance.

Yes. Micro-Ant designs bespoke telemetry antennas for helicopter fuselage mounts, UAV tracking positioners, vehicle-mounted systems, and man-pack configurations. Custom low-profile, conformal, and lightweight designs are engineered to meet strict aerodynamic, weight, and height constraints unique to each airborne or ground platform.

Micro-Ant operates an in-house high-performance antenna testing facility with near-field scanning capability from 750 MHz to 40 GHz. Testing includes antenna characterization across different ground plane conditions and generates certification-ready test reports accepted by satellite operators and defense agencies.

These antennas serve defense, intelligence, and aerospace programs including electronic warfare, UAV data backhaul, helicopter and fuselage-mounted communications, vehicle-mounted communications-on-the-move, and maritime SATCOM. Customers include DoD, civil government, and intelligence community programs requiring rugged, mission-critical connectivity.
