Why you need Automatic Tracking Antenna?
The drone is invisible to the naked eye when it is flying for a long distance in the sky. To ensure that the wireless video transmission signal is the strongest at this time, an antenna that can be tracked automatically is required. This antenna can search automatically while rotating. To get the best signal, position the drone and keep the antenna receiving surface always facing the drone.
The automatic tracking antenna with gimbal is designed for UAV directional panel antenna system. Directional panel antennas have higher gain than omnidirectional antennas, but high-gain directional panel antennas are often accompanied by narrow effective angles. Because the real-time position of the drone is constantly changing, the ground-side high-gain panel antenna needs to be adjusted in real-time to the effective direction and angle. Our automatic tracker antenna with gimbal is to solve the problem that the directional panel antenna is difficult to keep in the best direction and angle of sending and receiving when the UAV is flying. 
Our automatic tracking antenna with gimbal obtains the latitude, longitude, and altitude of the tracked target (Drohne) through the wireless data link, and the drone generally uses the MAVLink protocol to transmit the information of the drone (including the latitude and longitude and altitude) to the ground through the wireless data link At the end, we only need to share the latitude, longitude, and height information to our automatic tracking gimbal to realize real-time automatic tracking.
Our automatic tracking gimbal currently obtains the longitude, latitude, and altitude information of the aircraft from the ground end of the wireless data link through the serial port (just share the Tx signal of the serial port of the data link to AAT1), and then realizes real-time automatic tracking and real-time adjustment of altitude The gain panel antenna automatically „aligns“ the UAV in the sky, so that the directional panel antenna always maintains the best direction and angle for sending and receiving.

FAQs
In order to use in a drone based data link project we are interested in your Auto Antenna Tracking System.
- The antenna should be S-band (2.4 GHz)
- It should have auto-tracking feature (with ECEF data)
Fragen;
- What is the antenna parameters? (gewinnen, hpbw, etc)
- What is the interface of the tracker? How to control the tracker?
- How zero heading is made?
- Is it also possible to have RSSI tracking?
