SATCOM antennas transmit and receive RF signals to and from satellites in orbit, converting electrical signals into radio waves and vice versa. Design elements like gain, polarization, and beamwidth determine how effectively the antenna maintains a link with a satellite, whether geostationary or in constant motion across MEO or LEO constellations.
