GNSS L1/E1 Bands Antenna

Description

Anywaves’ GNSS L1/E1 antenna is the ideal solution for LEO platforms, providing accurate positioning and timing essential for satellite missions. Operating in the GPS L1 (1563-1587 MHz) and Galileo E1 frequency bands with Right Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP), this antenna ensures excellent signal stability and reliability. The superior realized gain (> 6 dBi at boresight) and low reflection coefficient (< -18dB) contribute to its exceptional performance.

The GNSS L1/E1 antenna is designed with a robust PEEK radome, which offers protection against harsh space conditions, including extreme temperatures and radiation. This ensures the antenna’s longevity and reliability throughout its operational life. The compact footprint of 96.6 mm x 96.6 mm and a mass of only 119g facilitate easy integration into various satellite platforms without compromising on performance.

Circular polarization enhances signal stability by mitigating multipath effects and improving signal clarity, which is crucial for accurate navigation and timing. The antenna’s phase center stability, with minimal variation (within a sphere of radius < 0.3 mm), ensures precise location data. The SMA female connector and standard mechanical interface ensure seamless integration with your systems.

This antenna is also compatible with Anywaves’ GNSS Antennas Test Cap, facilitating end-to-end testing and ensuring optimal performance on your platform.
