Frequently Asked Questions

What is a custom GNSS antenna and why would I need one?

A custom GNSS antenna is engineered specifically for your platform's frequency, size, and environmental requirements rather than using an off-the-shelf design. Custom builds are ideal when standard antennas can't meet precision, ruggedization, or multi-constellation tracking needs, such as in defense, agriculture, or autonomous vehicle applications.

How long does custom GNSS antenna design and prototyping take?

What frequency bands can Micro-Ant support for GNSS applications?

Can Micro-Ant handle both prototyping and full-scale production?

What certifications does Micro-Ant hold?

Do you offer testing services for antennas designed elsewhere?

How much does a custom GNSS antenna program cost?
