UAV-BASED RF Measurement SYSTEMs

The Quadsat Series

Mobile, configurable RF measurement systems that offer a broad range of antenna tests, measurements, and spectrum monitoring capabilities.

Quadsat’s revolutionary measurement systems are developed to offer an efficient, flexible, and comprehensive approach to RF testing. Our solutions address the growing demand for testing in today’s increasingly congested and contested spectrum, supporting several test objectives in SATCOM and defense.

Accurate Testing in Real-World Environments

With a UAV-based approach, Quadsat makes highly accurate in-situ testing accessible. Testing, calibrating, and validating antennas and RF equipment in their operational environments helps ensure they perform as expected, and maintain that performance over time.

Only by enabling high performance in-situ testing of this type can the industry ensure a ground infrastructure that can facilitate seamless, efficient, and resilient satellite communication.

Global Coverage With High Mobility

A compact design and mobile approach mean that Quadsat’s solutions can be deployed quickly and efficiently for in-situ testing around the globe.

The system comprises a standard UAV carrying Quadsat’s unique series of RF payloads, a ground control station, a GPS reference system and the necessary tools to deploy and test, which all are provided in two protective cases.
