01
Increased gain
Increase gain (or reduce power) of traditional antenna while decreasing side lobes.
02
Extremely broadband
GRIN lenses are intrinsically wide band, performing across multiple frequency bands instantaneously.
03
Reduced scan loss
Our lenses effectively minimize scan loss in beamforming antennas, ensuring consistent performance from the boresight to the edges
04
Wider field-of-view
Pairing a traditional beam forming device, such as a phased array, with a lens can drastically improve the effective field-of-view, covering a broader area without deploying more hardware.
05
Improved SWaP-C
The aggregation of these benefits collectively enhances SWAP-C, thereby elevating device performance in extreme and austere environments.
RF & MW Applications and Devices
Leveraging our deep understanding and experience in antenna design, Fortify delivers unparalleled performance for GRIN (gradient index) applications. Our innovative design-to-manufacturing approach enables us to craft geometries with optimal Dk, step multiple effective Dks, or seamlessly establish a continuous gradient of effective Dk across diverse areas. Our solutions encompass a broad spectrum of applications, from GRIN lenses and waveguides to connectors, radomes, conformal antennas, switch beam array lenses, and more.
Applications for Every Industry
Commercial & Tactical Comms
Enhanced Field of View
Our lens technology has the capability to expand the aperture of a traditional phased array, offering practical advantages in both commercial and defense communications contexts.
Radar, Tracking, and Guidance
Tracking and Guidance
Whether you’re pioneering next-generation seeker technology or engineering radar-evading drones through radar cross-section modification, our technology is here to support your endeavors.
SATCOM
Wide-band, Multi-orbit Terminals
Switched Beam Antenna Lens system reduces cost vs AESAs by removing need for phase shifters and reducing the number of amplifiers. In addition, the true time delay in dielectric lens means wide-bandwidth, which means the switched beam antenna lens system covers more bands with one device.
Leading Edges and Radomes
High-performance Ceramic Leading Edges and Radomes
Our ceramic dielectric portfolio stands as the prime choice for creating radomes or leading edges, where RF and thermal performance are paramount.
