A flat panel antenna is a low-profile antenna that uses a planar surface—often a patch array or phased array—to transmit and receive RF signals. Compared with a traditional dish, it can be easier to integrate on vehicles, aircraft, vessels, or fixed structures. Flat panels may use fixed, beam-switching, or electronically steered beams depending on the coverage, frequency, and mobility requirements.
