The Ceramic 3D Printed GNSS L1/E1 Bands Antenna from Anywaves is a GNSS Antenna that operates from 1.563 to 1.587 GHz (GPS LI band) and 1.559 to 1.591 GHz (Galileo E1 band). It delivers a gain of more than 5.5 dBi (at boresight) and operates in a right-hand circular polarization mode to avoid signal blackouts. This GNSS antenna provides an efficiency of more than 95 % and has a reflection coefficient of less than -10 dB. It provides hemispherical coverage with a half-power beam width of ± 45° and has an axial ratio of less than 8 dB (0° to ± 90° all planes).
The Ceramic 3D Printed GNSS L1/E1 Bands Antenna is based on an additive manufacturing process and has a technology readiness level (TRL) of 8. It brings together 3D printing technology and the robustness of ceramic material within a very compact volume. This antenna is available in two versions: an engineering model and a flight model. Both versions have the same electrical performance using the same materials and processes, but the flight model undergoes meticulous and rigorous acceptance tests to ensure the highest quality. It can withstand harsh environments without a radome because of its material selection and solderless feed system.
The Ceramic 3D Printed GNSS L1/E1 Bands Antenna is available in a module that measures 68 x 70 x 12.2 mm and has a coaxial SMA female connector. It is ideal for satellite positioning subsystems that receive signals from the Global Navigation Satellite System constellations to help locate the satellite in space and time.
