Operating in broad bands from 20 MHz to 40 GHz in every polarization, some even providing polarization diversity, these antennas are designed to meet specific performance and installation requirements. Applications include C3, telemetry, countermeasures, navigation, direction finding, missiles, decoys, IFF, GPS, INMARSAT and HDTV. Customers are government agencies as well as prime contractors.

Our strength is solving customer problems involving any combination of these factors: Broad frequency range, high power, special patterns, low VSWR, polarization diversity, or severe environments. In Electronic Warfare we have been particularly successful with broadband, high power antennas. Since 1958, we have shipped thousands of antennas to military and commercial customers. Our antennas are in use on virtually every U.S. military platform and system and on many foreign platforms.

Some EW applications include high power, broadband, multifunctional designs for a variety of platforms: ground, sea, air and space.

For both non-defense and defense applications, we have developed a series of low-cost lightweight NAVSTAR GPS antennas with full upper hemisphere pattern coverage.

The CNI antennas evolved from our traditional multi-band capability and a long history with commercial GPS and INMARSAT standard C antennas. We offer conformal designs for supersonic military as well as commercial aircraft and deployable antennas for UHF/SHF SATCOM.

Unique requirements for small size, light weight, and low cost have led us to offer a series of antennas custom-designed for air, sea, and ground-launched Missile and Expendable decoys. Many are high power.

M/A-COM space-qualified antennas have been used on numerous launch vehicles for command, telemetry, and tracking. Built for harsh launch environments, these antennas offer proven performance under extreme heat, noise, shock, vibration, and acceleration. Most designs can be readily modified to meet your special needs. Our staff of antenna design engineers, the largest of any independent antenna development company, has developed a long-standing reputation for working closely with customers from concept through prototype and production. That, coupled with our flexibility of design and large technology base, ensures we will meet your requirements no matter how strict.

We can address both commercial and military applications. While government customers benefit from low-cost, high volume processes, commercial customers benefit from new technology insertion through government investment.
