Revolutionary Satellite Communication Antenna Offers Unprecedented Flexibility For War Machine Applications
PathFinder Digital is pleased to denote that it has been issued U.south. Patent # 11,831,346 past the U.S. Patent in addition to Trademark Office for its groundbreaking satellite communication antenna system developed to address the challenges faced by war machine personnel in maintaining continuous and agile communication links on GEO, LEO as well as MEO networks. This new VSAT pattern offers unparalleled adaptability in addition to interoperability, providing users alongside the power to communicate amongst whatever available satellite net, regardless of the orbital configuration. PathFinder has named the novel final concept "MONDO" which stands for Multi Orbit Network, Dual Operation last.
Traditionally, satellite ground terminals accept been designed to run inwards a dedicated mode on a specific communication satellite or net. This has express their ability to rapidly reconfigure to communicate with option satellites, a vital capability inward times of conflict or when facing satellite disruptions due to hostile actions, on-reach failures, or other factors. PathFinder'sec innovative antenna organization, MONDO, addresses the shortcomings of both parabolic reflector antennas together with electronically scanned arrays (ESAs) when used standalone. While parabolic reflector antennas offering high make, they can be dull, cumbersome, together with prone to mechanical failure when operating on LEO or MEO. On the other mitt, ESAs render fast electronic beam steering as well as a low-profile blueprint, ideal for mobile platforms too when operating on MEO or LEO, just endure from lower arrive at specially on GEO satellites. The lower hit functioning of ESAs on GEO satellites is especially disadvantages inward many war machine applications where the bulk of the information transfer is from the user to the satellite (uplinked) rather than from the satellite to the user (downlinked).
The MONDO blueprint uses a principal in addition to secondary parabolic reflector inward combination amongst a phased array antenna/ESA. The phased array antenna is utilized every bit the feed for the parabolic reflector when operating on a GEO satellite and every bit a standalone antenna when operating on a LEO or MEO satellite. This configuration as well allows MONDO to office concurrently every bit a traditional parabolic antenna on a GEO satellite together with every bit a traditional ESA on a LEO/MEO satellite. Variations of the MONDO design could incorporate the parabolic antennas as well as/or ESAs from a diverseness of antenna manufacturers.
MONDO provides users alongside a unmarried earth final antenna arrangement that combines the best characteristics of parabolic antennas amongst the best characteristics of ESAs. The ideal MONDO use scenarios are "Flyaway" terminals (transportable example-based systems) besides equally "Drive-Away" terminals (vehicle mounted) when operating "At-The-Halt." While there is meaning together with growing need for terminals that run "On-The-Move," the bulk of armed services terminals run when stationary making the MONDO ideal for this application. Presently fielded armed services terminals could fifty-fifty live upgraded to the capabilities offered by the MONDO pattern giving them multi-net capability. Future generations of the MONDO concluding volition offer multi-band capability every bit dual band Ka/Ku ESAs are developed.
MONDO offers increased adaptability, allowing for seamless communication amongst multiple satellites simultaneously. This ensures high availability rates as well as the ability to switch communication from i satellite to some other when necessary.
Key features of the MONDO satellite communications last include:

Key features of the MONDO satellite communications last include:
- Compatibility with multiple satellite network architectures and purpose scenarios without time-consuming and costly hardware changes or organization reconfigurations.
- Operation on disaggregated satcom meshing platforms, including regime, commercial, too international systems.
- The function of various frequency bands, baseband hardware, too waveforms.
- Adaptability for installation on various platforms whether vehicle/trailer mounted or transported inwards cases.
- Use of advanced antenna technologies, including Passive Electronically Scanned Array (PESA), Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA), Hybrid Phased Array, Digital Beam Forming (DBF) Array, as well as/or Hybrid Beam Forming (HBF) Array.
"We await this breakthrough applied science to enhance the military'sec ability to keep secure too reliable satellite communications inward an increasingly complex as well as contested surround. With the capacity to rapidly transition betwixt satellites together with run in different orbital configurations as well as frequency bands, the MONDO concluding offers a meaning reward in maintaining communication links in critical military machine operations. PathFinder intends to license this innovative antenna pattern to antenna manufacturers," said Roger McGarrahan, CEO of PathFinder Digital.
