The MAA from Cobham Surveillance (GMS Products) provides a reliable, cost effective alternative to conventional electro-mechanical Dual-Axis or Single-Axis Auto-Tracking Antenna Systems. When used with the MSR 6 input COFDM receiver, this linear-polarized, wide-bandwidth antenna array provides auto-tracking of one or more transmissions over a 360 degree pattern. 


The MAAs shown below can be integrated with a variety of BDCC down converters or LNAs, simplifying installation, and protecting the electronics from the elements.
