A SATCOM antenna is an antenna designed to send and receive signals through communication satellites. In practical terms, it provides connectivity for aircraft, ships, vehicles, fixed terminals, and mission systems where terrestrial networks are unavailable or unreliable. SATCOM antennas may operate across bands such as L, X, Ku, and Ka, with configurations including parabolic, flat-panel, phased array, patch, helical, and electronically steered designs.
