COMPANY HISTORY

Broadband Propagation designs and manufactures a wide range of antenna products from MF to Microwave.We have been in operation for over 12 years and entered the antenna market with a number of original and ground breaking HF broadband antenna designs which offered HF users compact, efficient, light-weight and durable antennas using materials not seen before in the market.

So successful are these designs that all Australian transceiver manufacturers including Q-MAC, BARRETT and CODAN use and promote them as a major part of their antenna product range.

Broadband Propagation went on to develop (in it's own right) more products in the HF portable and back-pack arena, again introducing new materials with vastly greater strength and durability than existing designs. The "big three" have also adopted these designs as their preferred antennas.

In conjunction with this work Broadband Propagation evolved a long standing relationship with the Adelaide University Department of Physics and Mathematical Physics and ATRAD in their work on Atmospheric Radars (Wind Profilers), Meteor Detection Radars and Ionospheric Sounding Radars.

This has led to us designing manufacturing and installing very large VHF antenna arrays in places such as Scotland (United Kingdom Met Office), China (Chinese National Space Administration) and for NAL (National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan) other arrays we have built are installed all over the world from the Antarctica to Iceland.

ANTENNA DESIGN & PROTOTYPING

We can design antennas for your specific needs or take your antenna concept through all stages to realisation and then manufacture, including modelling, mechanical design, prototyping and testing.

 

 

 

The Antarctic Research Vessel, Aurora Australis is fitted with Broadband Propagation custom designed VHF data collection antenna.

Environmental Policy

Broadband Propagation fully understands it's share of obligations and responsibilities with regard to reducing the impact of human activity on eco-structures and systems, both globally and at a local level.

We seek, in all aspects of our activities, to reduce production of greenhouse gases, recycle and reuse to the maximum, consume as little as possible and only as necessary, and act at all times with full awareness of our impact on the world we live in.
