Automatic Antenna Tracker AAT for FPV drone video transmitter

What is an Automatic Antenna Tracker?

A device called an automatic antenna tracker can point a directional antenna towards a moving object, like a drone. The device is usually composed of a gimbal that can rotate an antenna in two directions, a controller to calculate the orientation and the location of the target and a communications link for sending and receiving data. Automatic antenna trackers can be used for applications that need long-range, reliable wireless communication. Examples include FPV (first-person view) flying, radio direction finding, and satellite communication.

Drone automatic antenna trackers track a drone using GPS data or telemetry signals and then aim its antenna towards it to increase video or data transmission quality. Some types, such as the AAT Auto Antenna Tracker Gimbal, even alter the frequency or channel of transceiver frequencies/channels for interference-free operation.
