Wideband Microwave Antennas

A wideband antenna operates efficiently across a broad range of frequencies rather than a single narrow band. Micro-Ant's award-winning Ultra-Wide Band Ka Antenna System, for example, spans 3.5 GHz per sub-band, covering 17.7-21.2 GHz receive and 27.5-31 GHz transmit for seamless roaming across multiple satellite operators.

These antennas support vehicle-mounted, airborne/UAV, helicopter and fuselage, man-pack/body-worn, ground-based fixed, and maritime shipboard installations. Designs are optimized per platform, including low-profile conformal radomes for aircraft and rugged housings for vehicle-mounted communications-on-the-move applications.

Products are manufactured under AS9100:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified processes and comply with MIL-STD-810 environmental standards. Many designs also hold satellite operator certifications such as ARSTRAT, INMARSAT CAT-01/CAT-04, Iridium Certus, Intelsat, Eutelsat, SES O3B, Thuraya, and Hughes.

Yes. Micro-Ant offers bespoke antenna design covering frequency bands, radiation patterns, gain, aperture size, and environmental constraints. Over 1,000 custom products have been delivered for defense, aviation, maritime, and SATCOM programs, with in-house testing from 750 MHz to 40 GHz supporting rapid certification.

The lineup includes parabolic reflectors, flat panel arrays, phased array/electronically steered arrays (ESA), and conformal low-profile designs. Aperture sizes range from 8 inches to 2 meters, with options for mechanical or electronic beam steering depending on tracking speed and platform requirements.

Every antenna undergoes testing in Jacksonville, FL facilities using spherical and planar near-field scanners covering 750 MHz to 40 GHz. Testing includes pattern measurement, axial ratio, return loss, and insertion loss, with certification-ready reports generated for military and satellite operator approval.
