COTS and custom designed Dual Linear and Dual Circular Polarised, sinuous antennas for direction finding, ELINT, RWR and ESM airborne, sea and ground-based applications.
The Steatite family of sinuous antennas simultaneously handle signals of any two orthogonal linear polarisations and simultaneous left and right-handed circular polarisations dependent on antenna design.
This provides intercept opportunities for a wide range of arbitrarily polarised signals, from devices also giving a wide bandwidth and broad beamwidth.
The sinuous antennas can also be used as feeds for reflector antennas where they give the advantage of a stable phase center across the frequency band.
As with other Steatite products, bespoke designs or modifications may be accommodated.
