EDO RSS manufactures a broad array of antennas for the defense and aerospace marketplace. Our product line includes antennas for a wide variety of omni and direction-finding applications, such as:
-
Component antennas for mobile, airborne, shipboard, laboratory and fixed-site use
-
Antenna systems for airborne, shipboard or ground mobile intercept and direction finding
-
Aerospace antennas for satellites, missiles, the space shuttle and other launch vehicles
EDO RSS’s technical expertise starts with individual component antennas, which are used for general laboratory, antenna range, or point-to-point communication links, and extends to antenna systems. These systems, which are used in the ELINT/ESM/ Reconnaissance and Surveillance marketplace, feature not only Direction Finding (DF) antennas, but also positioners, preamplifiers, controllers, and displays. They can be both manually and computer operated. EDO RSS also designs and develops customized antennas.
Our aerospace antennas are designed to withstand large temperature extremes as seen in space, very large shock and vibration environments as seen on missile launches, and high acoustical noises as seen on Space Shuttle and next generation spacecraft.
Our standard and aerospace component antennas cover the 20 MHz to 110 GHz frequency range. Our antenna systems cover the frequency range from 100 MHz up to 40 GHz.
EDO RSS has three state-of-the art anechoic chamber facilities to make far-field antenna pattern measurements:
-
A 20 x 20 x 32 ft. rectangular chamber, with a frequency range of 18-40 GHz
-
A 12 x 12 x 26 ft chamber with a frequency range of 2-40 GHz
-
A tapered 17 ft box with a 56 foot taper with a frequency range of 0.4-18 GHz
Our ranges are computerized so that all data can be recorded, stored, and processed digitally with the latest equipment. Both amplitude and phase measurements can be made, and the ranges are calibrated by an outside agency to ensure accuracy of the measurements.
