...Triple Band tracking antenna systems have been successfully deployed and tested at the US Naval Air Station Patuxent River. This is the first operational deployment of ORBIT's breakthrough Triple Band technology, designed to deliver unmatched performance for long-range telemetry missions while facilitating a smooth augmentation of C-band. ORBIT's patent-pending Triple Band feed is an innovative solution developed in response to the telemetry market's growing adoption of C-band frequencies in parallel to their legacy L- and S-bands. Based on its concentric coaxial cavity technology, ORBIT offers a single feed supporting simultaneous telemetry communication in all three bands for various antenna reflector sizes. Moreover, the feed enables switching between tracking bands on the fly without compromising performance.

Two Triple Band systems were delivered for field testing to the Naval Air Warfare Center telemetry team, which defined the stringent test requirements and conducted the actual tests. The results of these tests demonstrated the clear superiority of ORBIT's new feed in terms of performance to any other available technology. ORBIT's Triple Band solution is available for order and can be supplied as part of a new system or via ORBIT's upgrade and refurbishment program.

ORBIT will formally unveil its new auto-tracking Triple Band solution at the International Telemetering Conference (ITC) being held on October 23-25 in San Diego, California, at booth 220.
