QEST designs and develops Airborne Broadband Antennas:

Cryoelectronic Ultra-Low Noise Ampifiers are combined with High Efficency Primary Antenna Apertures.

• Lightweight: Antenna and positioner optimised for low weight
• Designed for Fast & Easy Assembly and aircraft installation
• Full Elevation Coverage (90° to 0°) for uninterrupted connectivity during all regular flight manoeuvres
• Automatic Polarisation Control for linear and circular polarisation
• Integrated BITE (Built-In Test Equipment)
• Reliable Cooling Technology: Field-proven in harsh airborne environments, e.g. in helicopter applications
• Positioner with state-of-the-art brushless DC servo motors and maintenance-free polymer slewing-ring bearings
• Reliability/MTBF adapted to commercial aircraft or business jets
• Compatible with COTS Equipment and standard aircraft environment (i.e. power supply, ADIRU data etc.)
• Environmental Testing acc. to DO 160-E
• QEST Antenna Design and performance validated in various environments

 

Compared to conventional airborne antennas,
the novel QEST antenna technology provides an
improvement in performance up to a factor of 4.
