Products

• Amt-30

  Electronically steered phased array intermediate gain antenna for Inmarsat Aero I. Combines low weight and size with outstanding communications performance.

• Amt-5o Multi Channel Aero H/H+ Antenna

  The AMT-5O Multi Channel Aero H/H+ Antenna is the world's smallest, lightest and most affordable Satcom Antenna ever designed and marketed for use with Inmarsat ARINC 741 Satcom Avionics.

• Antenna Sub-system

  The Calsar antenna's small size, innovative design and light weight allows for easy installation, without structural modifications, in virtually any location, including rooftops.

  It is extremely resistant to high wind loading. Controlled by a small stepper motor using digital components, its low weight allows the motor to smoothly drive the elevation over azimuth positioner through the range of motion required to track Cospas and Sarsat satellites

• Atlut-500s

  CAL's Advanced Technology Local User Terminal (ATLUT) is a fully-automated high performance satellite ground earth station with an exceptional, proven capability to monitor, receive and process distress signal relays from COSPAS-SARSAT Satellites.

• Buffer Amplifier

  As part of Canada's contribution to space station, Cal Corporation has developed and space-qualified a 1553B Buffer Amplifier. Its function is to bidirectionally buffer 1553B signals passing between two data buses. The buffer amplifier consists of three circuit card assemblies: The input power switch, the Power converter; and the buffer amplifier.
