Advanced Multi-Band Tracking Antenna for UAVs
The Advanced Multi-Band Tracking Antenna is engineered for extensive UAV tracking capabilities, reaching distances of up to 120 miles. It incorporates automatic self-calibration technology, ensuring extraordinary pointing accuracy. This antenna can connect to two MPU5 radios simultaneously, facilitating dual-band operations that enhance redundancy and provide robust resistance to interference.
Optimized MIMO Design
Designed with MIMO technology in mind, this antenna leverages the full spectrum of the MPU5’s MIMO functionalities, including spatial multiplexing and maximal ratio combining, along with various diversity transmission and reception methods. Additionally, it features an RF-only tracking mode, which is crucial for maintaining interaction and tracking in environments where GPS signals are unavailable.
Portability and Rapid Deployment
This system is highly portable and can be quickly deployed, collapsing into several lightweight cases for easy transport. Two operators can set it up in under 15 minutes, making it ideal for urgent operational needs. It is indeed built to endure challenging environmental conditions, including high winds, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
