FORAX™ RF-over-Fiber Communications System
Syntonics’ Fiber Optic Remote Amplifier Extension (FORAX™) links radios to their antenna at distances up to 10 kilometers (75+km by special order). Instead of using heavy, short, power-consuming coaxial cables, one coax cable per radio, FORAX™ uses a single long, lightweight, and secure fiber optic cable to connect all the radios.


Handheld Tactical Antennas for Handheld Radios

Syntonics has developed a suite of handheld VHF, UHF, TACSAT, and broadband antennas for handheld radios. Hunters, boaters, and tactical users can use this family of Handheld Tactical Antennas (HTA). Syntonics’ HTA models provides good gain, are rugged and compact (most are pocket-portable), can be silently deployed, and have a low visual profile when in use. The TACSAT model is subject to ITAR controls.


Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) Antenna Systems

Syntonics’ patented frequency selective surface (FSS) antenna system packs more communications capability into less footprint for satcom-on-the-move, transportable, and shipboard satellite terminals. In one configuration, existing X, Ku, or Ka-band satellite dishes are fitted with lower frequency FSS antenna appliqué to add a second operating band to the system, increasing its productivity. In another configuration, multiple independent, lightweight FSS antennas are packaged within a single radome.


Current Research and Development

Syntonics has several active antenna and RF electronics development projects underway, for a variety of specialty defense applications.
