Wideband Phased Array Antennas

A phased array electronically steers its beam by adjusting phase across radiating elements, while a switched-beam ESA combines groups of elements to achieve near-instantaneous, make-before-break tracking between satellites. Both eliminate mechanical moving parts, improving reliability and tracking speed on moving platforms like ships and aircraft.

These wideband phased array antennas are designed for airborne (UAV, helicopter, aircraft fuselage), maritime, vehicle-mounted, and ground-based or portable platforms. Rugged mechanical and environmental designs meet MIL-STD specifications, ensuring reliable performance in defense, aviation, and shipboard environments.

Data rates vary by satellite network and antenna design; for example, maritime Iridium Certus HGA-2 configurations support data rates up to 800 KPS. High Throughput (HTP) configurations across LEO, MEO, and GEO orbits can achieve significantly higher throughput depending on the satellite operator and frequency band used.

Yes. Micro-Ant's wideband phased array and SATCOM antennas are certified for Iridium Certus, Intelsat, Eutelsat, Inmarsat, SES O3B, Thuraya, Hughes, and ARSTRAT networks, with certification-ready test reports generated from in-house spherical and planar near-field testing facilities covering 750 MHz to 40 GHz.

Absolutely. Micro-Ant specializes in bespoke antenna design, having delivered over 1,000 custom products covering aperture design, beam-switching systems, and power amplification tailored to specific frequency, gain, and platform requirements for defense, aviation, maritime, and government customers.

All antennas are manufactured under AS9100:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified processes at Micro-Ant's Jacksonville, Florida facility. Every component undergoes rigorous testing during production, and finished antennas are validated in-house before shipment to ensure compliance with MIL-STD and FCC requirements.
