Precision Drive Pedestal Antennas

Digital Dexterity

Quasonix antennas offer a new generation of performance, usability, and versatility. The bedrock of our systems is the HyperTrack™ Antenna Controller (HTAC), where real-time processing is done in FPGA hardware, yielding faster response and extremely smooth, accurate tracking. With reflectors ranging from 3 to 24 feet (1 to 7.3 meters) in diameter, systems covering the full telemetry frequency range, and modular designs conceived with long service life, minimal maintenance, and expandability in mind, we have an antenna to fit your needs – and exceed your expectations.

Track with Unrivaled Precision

Track with Unrivaled Precision

FPGA-based real-time control eliminates tracking jitter and lag, outperforming legacy control systems without exception. Plano-centric drive systems deliver positioning accuracy and repeatability to 0.01 degrees.
