The 42GNSSX-XX-X from Antcom is a Multi-Frequency GNSS Antenna that operates across the GLONASS (L1/L2), GPS (L1/L2/L5), Galileo (E5a/E5b), BeiDou (B1/B2/B2b/B2a), and NavIC (L5) constellations. This antenna is designed for assured positioning, navigation, and timing (APNT) GNSS reception. It is offered in both passive and active (amplified) configurations, the active circuitry is designed to support a wide range of input voltages. The passive design is suitable for installations where the antenna is located close to the receiver. This RHCP-polarized antenna can handle a CW input power of 1 W with a VSWR of less than 2.0:1.
The 42GNSSX-XX-X’s active design has a built-in low noise amplifier (LNA) that provides a gain of 33 dB with a noise figure of 3.5 dB and has an output P1dB of +8 dBm. This antenna is available in a ruggedized enclosure and offers SMA, N-type, TNC, and TNC bulkhead connector options. The ARINC 743-compatible mounting holes are also included with the antenna, along with an O-ring seal to ensure easy installation.
