The VT-002 is the first of a new generation of high gain, low weight slave tracking antennas for airborne use. The unit is completely self contained and simple to operate.
The VT-002 can transmit and receive signals in the S band and can move from pointing directly downwards to pointing at right angles to the carrying vehicle with continuous rotation in azimuth thus offering a complete view of the ground and surrounding sky.
The high gain planer array head automatically points at objects on the ground or in the air, whether they are static or moving, so long as their positions are known. With 13 db gain in the S-Band the VT-002 opens up new areas of use for airborne telemetry systems.
Recently Redesigned for better performance!
The VT-004 is the first of a new generation of high gain ltra portable autotracking antennas. The unit is completely self contained and to operate it is as simple as opening the case and switching it on. The VT-004 can receive signals in the L and S band and can track using a monopulse autotracking technique from directly overhead down to the horizon with a continuous rotation in azimuth thus offering a complete view of the sky. The ultra high gain planer array head will automatically track objects at extended distances. With 19 db gain in the S-Band with simultaneous RHCP and LCHP reception the VT-004 opens up new areas of use for fully portable systems, thus offering an alternative to traditional autotracking systems of even a much greater size.
The VT-004 tracks objects at extended distances offering an alternative to traditional tracking antennas of a much greater size. A color video camera with 14:1 optical zoom and 200:1 digital zoom is mounted to view the antenna tracking centerline. Calibration is automatically carried out on start up and continuously during operation. An optional GPS navigation system and electronic compass allow the antenna to know its three-dimensional position in respect to the earth at all times.
