Monopatch Antenna

CLEAR LINE-OF-SIGHT COMMUNICATION

The unique design of the antenna creates a three-dimensional hemispherical pattern with full 360-degree azimuthal and 180-degree elevation coverage. The Monopatch Antenna is well suited for a variety of missions and applications, especially for use with relay or terminal nodes in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) systems. With full azimuthal and elevation coverage, the warfighter can maintain clear line-of-sight communication in challenging terrain environments. In addition, loitering aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicles can operate at greater standoff distances when deployed as air relay assets.

SUCCESSFUL TRACK RECORD

The Monopatch Antenna has been successfully deployed on light aircraft, helicopters and ground vehicles with two of the most commonly utilized commercially available MANET radios. Future developments for the antenna include additional L and S band versions, MIMO and TSMx compatibility. The Monopatch Antenna is currently available in two frequency ranges for use with commercially available MANET radios: 1) a dual frequency version in the L/S bands (NATO D/E) and 2) a wider S band version (NATO E band). The antenna uses a common aluminum housing and dome cover with two options for location of the TNC(F) connector.
