Introducing Maxtena: Pioneers in Wireless Dialog Solutions

maxtena stands at the forefront of innovation in wireless communication and RF technologies, catering to both terrestrial and satellite networks.UST is thrilled to announce our partnership with Maxtena as a supplier, and we will be showcasing their remarkable solutions and expertise across our platforms over the coming year.

New Supplier Profile Launch

We are excited to unveil Maxtena’s supplier profile on UST, crafted in collaboration with their team. This Silver profile highlights their cutting-edge GNSS antennas, specifically engineered for unmanned systems that operate on land, in the air, and at sea, including UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles), and USVs (uncrewed surface vessels).

Innovative Helicore Technology

At the heart of Maxtena’s offerings is their patented Helicore technology, which delivers a flexible and cost-effective platform for robust GNSS antenna products. This technology optimizes essential design factors such as radiation pattern,polarization purity,efficiency,and compactness. By utilizing air as the dielectric core,Helicore minimizes the common losses associated with ceramic materials,ensuring a stable and efficient manufacturing process.

Key Advantages of Helicore Technology

• Reduced size and weight compared to customary ceramic options
• Designs that are self-reliant of ground plane requirements
• Outstanding axial ratio at lower elevation angles, enhancing multipath rejection
• Compliance with susceptibility standards of 200 V/m and 50 V/m

Conformal Wave Antenna Solutions

Maxtena has also innovated with advanced materials and a unique dual-feed configuration to develop conformal wave antenna solutions, offering numerous benefits over conventional ceramic single- and dual-feed technologies.

These innovative materials possess optimal dielectric properties, enabling high bandwidth and efficiency while minimizing both size and weight.Their plastic-like behavior enhances versatility during manufacturing, making them ideal for complex embedded GNSS applications requiring comprehensive coverage.

Benefits of Conformal Wave Solutions

• Exceptional axial ratio for complete upper hemisphere coverage across all frequencies
• Consistent phase center stability across frequency ranges
• Enhanced rejection of cross-polarized signals and multipath effects at low elevation angles
• Outstanding performance in L-band corrections

Custom antenna and RF Solutions

Maxtena excels in designing and developing tailored antenna and RF solutions for a diverse array of UAV and autonomous vehicle applications. With a skilled engineering team spread across three continents, they leverage their vast experience to deliver top-tier engineering design and support services.
