Tracking antennas are systems that track the location of drones and UAS. It uses drone position information to accurately orient the antenna in the UAV direction. These kinds of systems highly increase the signal range, making them suitable for their use in telemetry and telecommand communications and for video links. Increasing the range of operation from the control station.

Directional antennas have significantly higher gains compared to omnidirectional ones. In contrast, the radiation angle is limited to a few degrees, reducing the beam of action. Being this beam narrower, while the gain is higher. It is necessary to have precision tracking systems when seeking to operate over long distances. Tracking antennas or tracker systems permit the installation of directional antennas, allowing to establish long-range communications with drones or UAS at the same time it minimizes interference from other signals.

Tracking antennas: Veronte Tracker

The Veronte Tracking Systems T28 Tracking Antenna for Drones Veronte installs high-precision actuators and sensors that permit to automatically orient the directional antenna. This system is suitable for any kind of drone, UAS, RPAS, UAV, USV, UGV, etc.

Veronte Tracker is compatible with different kinds of antennas, such as parabolic, patch, grid, etc. In addition to being completely removable for easy handling and transportation.

Veronte Tracker tracking antennas are fully compatible with Veronte Autopilot in order to get accurate tracking of moving objects. This Plug and Play system improves system performance with the embedded tracking module. The drone sends its position to the control station with a high degree of accuracy, so it can command the tracking antenna. The use with Veronte Autopilot enables manual control functionalities, so it can be controlled from a joystick or Veronte Pipe in case it is required.
