Continuous Transverse Stub
The Power of Continuous Transverse Stub Antennas
A Continuous Transverse Stub or CTS antenna is a highly efficient, flat panel, staring antenna, using parallel plate technology to distribute and emit RF energy. Given the high antenna efficiency technology, ThinKom’s CTS antennas have higher gain than comparably sized parabolic dishes and competing flat panel antennas.
The performance advantages and compact form factor of CTS enable the high performance of our man portable line of ThinPack terminals

Sidelobe Advantages
As comparted to a parabolic dish of the same size, CTS has 6 to 15 dB lower sidelobes, enabling higher power transmission and reduced adjacent satellite interference.
ThinPack
The ThinPack family of products is based on our patented Continuous Transverse Stub (CTS) technology, using similar principles to VICTS to provide a highly efficient, flat panel antenna.
