Creating more accessible test data
The number of antennas deployed globally is growing and so is radio frequency interference (RFI). Most RFI arises from poorly performing or badly installed antennas and can cause connection failures and lowered bandwidth. Currently, antennas are tested in conventional test ranges prior to network deployment in order to prevent these malfunctions. However, this procedure is expensive, time- consuming, and a logistical challenge. QuadSAT introduces a UAS based system to offer location- independent antenna testing. It is an innovative solution that allow for increased test measurements in the SATCOM and RADAR industries.
QuadSAT’s unique solution enables a range of on-site measurements such as antenna radiation patterns and antenna alignment. The payload mounted on the drone enables maximal location flexibility. As a mobile test-facility, it can operate anywhere in the world on antennas of all sizes.
