Automatic antenna ADFA

Direction Finder

The high-performance Automatic Direction Finding Antenna (ADFA), in conjunction with the SignalShark, is a uniquely compact and cost-effective solution for many applications: whether for frequency band management, interference detection, border monitoring or much more.

Features

Key capabilities and advantages

  • Precise direction finding of signals from 10 MHz to 8 GHz.
  • Fast direction finding cycle of 1.2 ms, ideal even for very short signals.
  • Time-saving and easy to install and align.
  • Precise direction finding results thanks to the integration of several antenna elements.
  • Exact localization through additional vertical signal detection (elevation).
