Custom Antenna Design
Customized Antenna Engineering
AEM Antennas can supply a custom antenna specifically designed for your product’s application.
Custom Feed Horns and Reflectors
Custom Horn Antennas are the standard go-to for compact directly radiating antennas or feed networks for reflectors. Many different design variations exist such as pyramidal (rectangular) or conical (circular) smooth wall, corrugated, and choke and can be designed from L-band (1-2GHz) to V-band (40-75GHz).
We design 0.5m to 1.2m Dish Reflectors for space, VSAT, and other point-to-point communication systems. Several polarization options are possible from single Linearly Polarized to dual Circularly Polarized feeds and can include multiple frequency bands.
High Gain Antenna Arrays
Antenna Arrays can be formed with nearly any antenna. Using theoretical models, a mathematical prototype can offer insight to the radiation pattern for a particular antenna type.
Static arrays (with linear phase and amplitude) can be a simple solution to significantly increase overall antenna gain without adding active electronics like power amplifiers. However, a nonlinear phase and amplitude array can fine tune the radiation pattern to meet your side-lobe requirements or certification criteria.
Patch arrays are typically requested, however, we can provide slot arrays (or leaky-wave) arrays to meet a high power requirement as well.
Concept > Prototype > Production
We can work together with your existing product design team to conceptualize an antenna configuration that makes most sense for your wireless product in terms of mechanical constraints and industrial design.
Simulation at every stage accurately predicts gain and pattern performance for regulation restrictions, increasing efficiency, and link budgets.
Antenna Simulation
We use the latest simulation tools and methods to predict performance that prevents any surprises.
Feed Networks
We can help customize a feed to provide the best wireless performance no matter the waveguide used.
