Reliable Communications: Transmitting and Receiving Flawlessly in the Harshest Space Environments.
We developed lightweight, high-gain antennas capable of operating at temperatures as low as −150°C and under radiation exposure. These antennas were adopted for the small satellites “Hodoyoshi” and “PROCYON,” as well as the exploration rover MINERVA-II (Hayabusa 2 mission). We also handle X-band and Ka-band antennas for 6U-class ultra-small satellites and high-precision antennas for ground verification before and after launch, supporting satellite communication reliability in the field.

Inverted-F Antenna
Ultimate Miniaturization. Proven Performance.
By thoroughly re-examining substrate materials and shapes and adopting an inverted-F antenna structure, we achieved a slim, low-profile design while maintaining sufficient directivity and gain. As a result, we established a design enabling stable communication even while the rover hopped across the asteroid Ryugu, ensuring reliable transmission of acquired data to the mother ship Hayabusa2.

Protecting every hour of flight and the final minutes to touchdown.
We design and manufacture antennas for Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) that guide aircraft onto the runway during landing. Through structural designs adapted to the harsh environments typical of airports—such as rain and salt damage—and a comprehensive development system, we support the safe operation of airports that require 24-hour service.

Localizer Antenna Array
Our antennas operate at approximately 50% of all domestic airports in Japan.
We design and manufacture antennas for Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) that guide landing aircraft onto the runway using localizer (glide path) radio waves. Featuring weather-resistant construction capable of long-term operation alongside runways exposed to rain and salt damage, our antennas are adopted at approximately half of domestic airports.
