What Sinclair Technologies does

Sinclair Technologies, founded in 1951 and headquartered in Aurora, Ontario, Canada, is a division of Norsat International Inc. that manufactures RF antennas and signal conditioning equipment for mission-critical wireless communications. The company offers a portfolio of more than 3,000 products spanning base station, mobile, DAS, and cellular antennas alongside transmitter combiners, duplexers, filters, hybrid and crossband couplers, multicouplers, tower top amplifiers, isolators, and intermod suppression panels covering VHF, UHF, 800 MHz, TETRA, LTE, and 5G frequency bands. Proprietary technologies include the patent-pending Aurora Balanced Antenna Design, Q-Circuit cavity filters, Res-Lok multicoupler technology, IntelliSENSE power monitoring, and Intellitune auto-tunable combiners with industry-leading PIM ratings down to -150 dBc. Complementing the hardware portfolio are Communication Shelters (Comshel) and a services line covering custom system design, NRC-traceable calibration with 5-day turnaround, and certified product training programs.

Sinclair serves public safety, transportation, utilities, natural resources, DAS in-building, and cellular/telecom customers globally, with documented deployments for NAV CANADA, G8/G20 Summit organizations, law enforcement agencies (including historical FBI covert vehicle work), London Underground, and technology partners such as Radiometrics. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification since 1991 and is RoHS compliant. Commercial motion is enterprise field sales: products are quote-based with no public pricing displayed, distributed through direct regional contacts covering US, Canada, LATAM, EMEA, and APAC plus an authorized reseller network, with multi-year contract cadence. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales with a secondary professional services stream, and the company maintains an active trade show presence at APCO, Comms Connect, and Futurecom.

Products and services

• Base Station Antennas High-quality base station antennas for public safety, government, and military applications including Collinear, Dipole, Panel, Ground Plane, Corner Reflectors and Yagi types with options such as Heavy Duty, PIP, Low PIM, Downtilt, Null fill, MIMO, and Lightning Spike.
• Mobile Antennas Mobile and heavy-duty transport antennas including Single-Band Omnidirectional, Stealth, Transport, Wide-Band, Multi-Band, and multi-functional antennas with multi-ports for reduced installation and maintenance costs.
• DAS Antennas High-performance Distributed Antenna System line offering rugged donor antennas and low profile, high efficiency server antennas for in-building communication needs, mission-critical operations, and public safety applications.
• Cellular Antennas Cellular panel, small cell, and in-building antennas supporting LTE and 5G networks with emerging 6G potential, available in multi-port configurations up to 21 ports.
• Transmitter Combiners Auto-tunable, ceramic, cavity, hybrid, and control-station combiner solutions enabling multiple transmitters to share a common transmit antenna for reduced antenna count, tower loading, and site complexity.
• Duplexers Base station and mobile duplexers enabling bi-directional transmission where a transmitter and receiver share a single antenna with strong Tx to Rx port isolation.
• Filters Cavity filters using proprietary Q-Circuit technology with pass and reject characteristics, including PIP Tx Post Filters, Cavity Filters, Pre-Selectors, and Lumped Element Filters.
• Hybrid Couplers Wideband and narrowband hybrid couplers in balanced and unbalanced configurations for combining or dividing RF signals.
• Crossband Couplers Multi-Service Cross-Band Couplers for combining or separating different frequency bands, reducing costs, system complexity, and tower loading.
• Expandable Multicouplers C-Series pass-reject multicouplers for expanding transmit combiner/receiver multicoupler in Low Band, Aviation, and VHF bands using proprietary Res-Lok technology.
• Receiver Multicouplers Receiver multicouplers that conserve antenna mounting structure space and decrease installation costs by allowing 2 to 32 channels to connect to a single antenna.
• Tower Top Amplifier (TTA) TM Series Tower Mounted Amplifier/Receiver Multicouplers that enhance receiver system sensitivity by minimizing signal loss over long coaxial runs, with integrated low-noise preselector and amplifier at tower top.
• Isolators Wideband and tunable isolators including single-stage and dual-stage configurations for RF signal isolation and intermodulation suppression.
• Intermod Suppression Panels PC Series intermod suppression panels consisting of an isolator and second harmonic filter to reduce intermodulation and prevent reflected power damage to amplifiers.
