From Earth to Orbit: The Important Role of Antennas in NTN

From Earth to Orbit

ABSTRACT
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand, the challenge of connecting devices beyond terrestrial network coverage becomes increasingly important. Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) enable IoT applications to reach areas where traditional connectivity cannot, bridging the gap between terrestrial and satellite systems.

In this context, antennas play a central role in enabling the innovation behind Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). Their design dictates how effectively devices connect and sustain communication with satellites – particularly under the strict requirements of low power consumption, compact size, and cost sensitivity typical of IoT applications. This paper explores the significance of antennas in NTN, outlines their key specifications and types, and discusses future developments in this field.
