3-Axis, Bias Drive Zero Backlash,X-Y/AZ Autotrack Antenna
Precise, full-hemispherical tracking is the critical first step in communicating with LEO satellites. Yet, most existing designs fall short in one or more significant aspects. To overcome this, SeaSpace analyzed a multitude of conventional and unconventional designs and made an innovative leap to deliver high tracking accuracy. The result was our AXYOM Model 50: X-Y over Azimuth Optimized Motion Antenna.
