Driving Innovation in Antennas and Solid
State Power Amplifier (SSPA) Technologies
POAM Electronics Ltd designs and manufactures high-performance antenna systems and RF hardware for radio astronomy, solar observation, satellite ground stations, and precision tracking applications.
​
We also develop custom solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs) used in defence, research, and commercial communication systems worldwide.
Core Capabilities:
​
Solar Radio Telescopes: Continuous solar monitoring, burst detection, and long-term observation platforms.
Radio Telescopes: Turn-key and modular systems for universities, observatories, and research institutions.
Tracking Antennas: High-accuracy azimuth/elevation systems providing full-sky coverage for LEO, MEO, and GEO tracking.
Earth Station Antennas: 3 m to 12 m fully configurable ground station antennas engineered to mission requirements.
Solid-State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs): Wideband and pulsed RF amplifiers up to 40 GHz. Compact, rugged, and suitable for demanding field or defence environments.
RF Power Detectors & Sensors: USB and Ethernet measurement instruments for laboratory and outdoor deployment, supporting frequencies up to 67 GHz.
​
Every system is engineered and assembled in the United Kingdom and delivered with integration support, calibration procedures, and control software.
​
We build equipment intended for continuous operation, maintainability, and long operational life in remote or mission-critical installations.
At POAM Electronics Ltd, we support projects from initial specification through operational deployment. Our services are focused on ensuring systems meet measurable performance targets in real operating environments; not just in the lab.
Engineering & Deployment Support
System Design:
Custom antenna, RF front-end, and receiver architectures developed around your frequency band, tracking accuracy, and environmental constraints.
Installation & Integration:
On-site assembly, alignment, calibration, and acceptance testing performed by engineering staff.
Upgrades & Optimisation:
Modernisation of legacy antennas, control systems, and RF chains to improve sensitivity, tracking stability, or operational reliability.
Performance Monitoring & Diagnostics:
Remote and on-site technical support including troubleshooting, drift analysis, and preventative maintenance planning.
RF & Defence System Support:
SSPA Integration for Pulsed and Wideband Applications
Design, configuration, and deployment support for solid-state power amplifiers used in radar, tracking, and high-duty-cycle communication systems.
Includes thermal management guidance, duty-cycle validation, and protection strategies for field or mobile environments.
We work with research institutions, observatories, ground-station operators, and engineering teams implementing specialised RF systems. Engagements range from assisting experienced technical staff to delivering complete operational systems.
Discuss your requirements with us to determine feasibility, constraints, and recommended architecture before procurement.
POAM Electronics Ltd is a UK engineering company specialising in antenna systems and RF hardware for radio astronomy, solar monitoring, satellite tracking, and communication infrastructure.
​
Our team consists of RF engineers and scientists with practical experience in telescope systems, precision tracking antennas, and high-frequency electronics. We design and build complete operational systems rather than individual components, ensuring predictable performance once deployed.
​
We support the full lifecycle of each project; from specification and system architecture through installation, verification, and long-term technical support. Systems are configured around the operational objective, whether scientific observation, satellite communication, or continuous monitoring.
In addition to antenna and receiver systems, we develop stand-alone IP67 solid-state power amplifiers for pulsed and wideband operation. These units are intended for defence and harsh-environment applications where environmental protection, thermal stability, and operational reliability are critical.
​
Our systems are designed for unattended operation and field serviceability in remote installations. Equipment is supplied with up to a 3-year warranty and a 10-year spare-parts availability commitment, supporting long operational lifetimes and maintainability.
​
Our equipment is supplied to organisations in research, education, communications, and specialised engineering sectors requiring dependable long-term operation rather than short-term laboratory performance.
