Chelton drives innovation and engineering excellence in aerospace and defence

Today, Chelton is a world leader in the design and manufacture of airborne communications and navigation antennas and subsystems.

Chelton leads the industry in the design of tuned, low profile and conformal airborne antennas. RF devices and Antenna Electronics (AE) closely associated with our antenna solutions include couplers, filters, diplexers, LNAs, HPAs, combiners and attenuators.

The antenna products are complemented by a range of RF and digital subsystems that meet the increasing demand for communications on the move.

Chelton offers a complete design to supply solution for innovative antenna systems covering a broad range of civil and military applications at operating frequencies ranging from HF through to microwave.



With its great wealth of experience and a forward thinking approach Chelton is able to match the antenna solution to the customer’s requirement. In many cases an off the shelf solution can be provided from the existing broad product range. Alternatively an adaptation of an existing product can be provided, giving the assurance of a proven and reliable solution that is tailored to meet the needs of the customer.

If a solution is not already available then the company’s team of experienced design engineers will collaborate with the customer to develop a new product that will deliver the capabilities required.
