Pulse Electronics has introduced a new combination GPS/multiband vehicle-mount antenna with high port-to-port isolation for excellent signal clarity. An optional magnetic mount base makes this antenna easy to install and remove without drilling a hole in the vehicle. Pulse’s GPSMB501 antenna consists of five connectors to access five antenna solutions--two MIMO cellular and two dual-band MIMO WLAN and one for a global navigation satellite system (GPS plus Glonass). The Panther GPS multiband antenna improves data throughput and navigation for telematics, infotainment, and location-based applications in all types of fleet, public safety, delivery, utility, and transit vehicles.
This multiband antenna delivers over 40 dB isolation across WiFi-to-WiFi ports and over 15 dB isolation from LTE-to-LTE ports with a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of <1.5:1 in LTE bands and 1.4:1 in WiFi bands. Isolation is further enhanced by a GPS low noise amplifier filtered for out-of-band rejection of over 55 dB rejection at 1710 MHz and 2170 MHz bands and over 75 dB rejection at 824 MHz and 960 MHz bands.
This new Panther series of antennas are a premium product meet high quality standards. Not only does the magnetic base option make installation and removal easy, but this aesthetically pleasing solution combines ideal radiation performance for today’s demanding propagation environments with optimum isolation characteristics to ensure the highest data rates and signal integrity possible.
The Panther series GPSMB501 measures approximately 147 mm x 160 mm x 75 mm. Environmental specifications include ingress protection of 67 (IP67) and mil-standard testing for humidity, vibration, thermal shock, and accidental drop. The cable length comes standard at 17 feet, with either SMA or RPSMA connectors. Cable lengths and connector variations are possible upon request. The GPSMBMM magnetic mount is an optional magnetic mount base configured for ease of use with the GPSMB501.
