Ultra-Wideband Antennas
Unlock More Bandwidth with Ultra-Wideband Antennas
Certain satellite networks use larger channel bandwidths (3.5 GHz or more) to accommodate new waveforms and increase data throughput, but standard phased arrays are not able to support these requirements.
To provide higher instantaneous bandwidth, ThinKom developed a new antenna technology. This phased array antenna has a similar form factor and steering mechanism to VICTS but a new RF design based on true time delay.
This patent-pending technology, referred to as Ultra-Wideband, is capable of supporting instantaneous bandwidths greater than 3.5 GHz, as well as selective Ku- and Ka-band operation out of a single aperture.
