Monopulse Antenna Systems

Compact folded optics design allows antenna, feeds, comparators and servo system to be packaged for aircraft, pod, or UAV installation.

  • X-Band fielded system approximately 30″ diameter, MMW fielded systems from 4″ diameter to 8″ diameter.
  • Broadband antenna allows for transmit and receive performance from 8.0 GHz to 40 GHz  (X, Ku and Ka).
  • Light composite twist reflector allows scan rates up to 180 degrees/second.
  • Remote or local control of multiple preprogrammed scan patterns of arbitrary nature and re-programmable on the fly via dumb terminal (RS232 interface).
  • Near hemispherical scan envelope.
  • Simple, lightweight push rod twist plate drive allows smooth scan control over the full range of scan rates and patterns.
  • Embedded micro-controller, custom control software, brushless motors with optical encoder feedback.
