PCTEL 8178D-HR-DH-W is an amplified GNSS antenna for timing synchronisation and other fixed applications that require accurate, interference-free satellite reception. High out-of-band rejection protects reception from nearby cellular and other transmitters.
Features
- GPS L1, GLONASS L1, Galileo E1 and BeiDou B1
- LNA gain 40 dB ± 4 dB, noise figure < 2.0 dB (typical)
- Out-of-band rejection ≥ 60 dBc (f0 ± 50 MHz) and ≥ 70 dBc (f0 ± 60 MHz)
- Conical radome sheds water and ice and minimises bird perching
- IP67, operating temperature −40…+85 °C
Technical specifications
- Frequency range: 1559–1610 MHz
- Element gain: 2 dBic @ 90°
