Custom OMT Engineering
Mission-specific orthomode transducer design across UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, Ka, Q, and V bands, engineered for optimal isolation, low loss, and rugged field performance.
Micro-Ant engineers high-performance orthomode transducers (OMTs) that deliver low insertion loss and superior cross-polarization isolation for demanding SATCOM, defense, and aerospace systems. Backed by AS9100 and ISO 9001 certified U.S. manufacturing, our team designs OMTs built to perform reliably in the harshest operating environments.
From concept to certified production, we deliver comprehensive orthomode transducer and RF component design services.
Mission-specific orthomode transducer design across UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, Ka, Q, and V bands, engineered for optimal isolation, low loss, and rugged field performance.
In-house design, machining, and assembly of OMTs, feeds, polarizers, and reflectors, built entirely by our own engineering and production teams without outsourcing.
Spherical and planar near-field chamber testing from 750 MHz to 40 GHz, with satellite operator certification and formatted compliance reporting for OMTs and feed components.
Orthomode transducers are critical to separating and combining polarized signals in SATCOM, radar, and telemetry systems. Our engineers design each OMT to meet strict U.S. defense and FCC-aligned performance standards, with proprietary techniques refined over two decades. Every unit undergoes 100% testing before shipment, ensuring dependable field performance across government, aviation, maritime, and land applications nationwide.

An orthomode transducer (OMT) is an RF waveguide component that separates or combines two orthogonally polarized signals sharing a common waveguide port, commonly used in satellite communications, radar, and radio astronomy systems. OMTs enable simultaneous transmit and receive operation or dual-polarization signal processing while minimizing cross-polarization interference and insertion loss.
