Flat panel antennas are ultra-thin antennas using holographic approach to electronically acquire, steer, and lock a beam to any satellite. These antennas offer a high gain in a very thin, low profile package, and are very rugged and completely weatherproof for extremely long life in harsh environments. Unmanned systems provide airborne and remote ground surveillance, video transmission, border patrol, tactical support, and uninterrupted communication to the control center. Parabolic antennas are complex to install, configure, and maintain. The advantages of a flat panel antenna include simple plug-and-play configuration and maintenance. Many vehicles and other assets operated by government agencies, energy companies, and non-governmental organizations take advantage of inexpensive flat-panel antennas allowing more bandwidth than L-band. Since the demand for unmanned systems is on the rise, the need for wider ranges of antennas for payloads & C4I2SR missions is also growing.
Flat antennas are extremely valuable for commercial ships and yachts. Land mobility is another market that benefits from inexpensive flat-panel antennas. In addition, the industry is coming up with flat panel antennas based on electromagnetic meta-materials technology with ultra-thin antennas that use a holographic approach to electronically acquire, steer, and lock a beam to any satellite. Such wide-spread usage of new technology in the flat antenna market share is anticipated to undergo exponential growth in the coming years.
Rise in adoption of ultra-thin antennas with wider range to electronically acquire, steer, lock a beam to any satellite as well as demand for connectivity in commercial aviation are the major factors that propel the market growth. In addition, these antennas are used in geo-stationery orbit satellite constellations. However, high cost, low radiation efficiency, and low gain of flat antenna resulting in variable performance tend to restrain the flat antenna market growth.
On the contrary, rise in deployment of flat panel directional antennas to provide uninterrupted communication in airborne and remote ground surveillance, border patrol, video transmission, and tactical support further boosts the market revenue. Rapid expansion of 5G technology requiring high-speed data delivery and advancements in satellite connectivity are expected to pave new avenues in the flat antenna industry.
Leading flat antenna market players have taken necessary actions to improve overall in-house design, testing, accuracy, and functionality of flat antennas to enhance performance of wireless networks globally, with focus on LTE, public safety, and emerging 5G technologies.
In September 2019, PCTEL Inc., global supplier of antennas and wireless network testing solutions, introduced Coach II antenna with precision multi-constellation GNSS L1/L2/L5 with high performance LTE, sub-6 GHz 5G, Bluetooth, and Wi-fi connectivity. The antenna features IP67 rated design to provide greater precision and reliability for advanced rail communication systems enabling everything from next-generation Positive Train Control (PTC) to passenger Wi-fi.
In March 2020, Comba Telecom Systems Holdings Ltd., a leading solutions provider and service provider of wireless and information communication system, announced Hybrid Beam Antenna. It is one of the key antenna solutions complying with 5G network coverage environment and 4*4 hybrid structure for MIMO 700, 800, 1800, 2100, and 2600MHz. This device can achieve frequency reuse without adding additional spectrum resources. Hybrid Beam Antenna provides high bandwidth, high antenna gains, and split sectors to support increase in demand for network of operators as well as create robust, comprehensive 5G network.
