Long Range Airborne Downlink
The Super Pod™ is a low profile, lightweight antenna system for airborne video downlink applications. Field proven with law enforcement and television news operations worldwide, it incorporates a directional antenna and robust positioner encapsulated within a low profile radome. Ideal for airborne transmit as well as relay applications, the Super Pod™ automatically aligns its directional transmit antenna with the receive site. It also provides a telemetry output that is used for automatic tracking by the ground-based receive system.
Advanced Antenna Design
The Super Pod™ includes an advanced transmit antenna to overcome signal degradation caused by multipath reflections. The transmit antenna combines directivity, sidelobe suppression and circular polarization to provide performance that is far superior to yagi antenna systems.
Rugged Positioner
The high performance of the Super Pod™ transmit antenna is complemented by its robust positioner. It features a worm gear direct drive that ensures precision alignment and reliability.
Downlook Antenna Option
The Super Pod™ is available with a fixed downlook antenna for ground-to-air-to-ground relay operations.
