OVERVIEW
Keep the directional link aligned with the aircraft.
The Advanced Tracking Antenna System combines two forward-facing directional antennas, a video receiver, a tracking controller and a servo drive in a tripod-mounted ground system. It supports FPV UAV operations by receiving live video while maintaining antenna direction through signal-strength tracking.
Track by comparing received signal strength
The controller processes RSSI at 100 Hz and uses differential signal-strength analysis to drive directional tracking. The servo system provides 360° horizontal rotation, 0.1° angular resolution and rotation speeds up to 45° per second, with position feedback. Lock-on time is specified at under one second.
Bring FPV video into the ground network
The receiver operates at 5.3–6.0 GHz with RHCP antennas. A network stream server accepts analog NTSC/PAL video and provides RTMP or RTSP output with H.264/H.265 compression, up to 720p at 30 fps. RJ45 Ethernet supports connection to the ground-station network, with DHCP or static IP configuration.

PLATFORM INTEGRATION
One part of your protection system
Integrate directional video reception and the frequency-hopping control link with the UAV ground-control workflow. Video frequency ranges, control spectrum and communication protocols can be configured for the deployment and regional requirements. The system supports remote UAV activation and deactivation through the standard UAV control radio channel.
