This wide-band antenna is a precision high-gain GNSS antenna covering the BeiDou B1, Galileo E1, GPS L1, GLONASS L1, and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, QZSS, and MSAS) frequency band (1557 MHz to 1606 MHz). It provides very circular polarized signal reception through the entire bandwidth of the antenna, thereby providing superior multipath signal rejection. The antenna has a three-stage low noise amplifier, comprised of one input LNA per feed, a mid-section SAW to filter the combined output, and a final output gain stage. An additional pre-filter provides extra strong protection from near frequency and strong harmonic signals. An L-bracket for pole mounting and 3-foot BNC(m) to N(f) cable is also included.

Outdoor Antenna Basics

Antenna cables and accessories enable versatile solutions that are easy to achieve. Inline GNSS amplifiers installed at the antenna are an easy way to extend cable runs from 225 feet to up to 900 feet, depending on cable type. Lightning arrestors provide valuable electrical shock protection to the downstream equipment. Antenna cable splitters leverage a single antenna and cable for up to four GNSS receivers. Ordering antenna components is a simple task. The most important thing you need to have is a rough idea of the total cable length needed between the SyncServer and the mounting location of the antenna. Any extra cable can be coiled to the side.

Pre-configured kits that include cable, antenna, and related mounting accessories are available. These kits vary by total cable length and are based on whether a lightning arrestor is required or not. For long cable runs (>225 feet), the components are assembled individually.

To assist and simplify configurations up to 900 ft., Microchip has included an Excel-based antenna configurator on the website. The configurator helps you determine the exact part numbers needed for the desired cable length and accessories. Important: The antenna kit (part number 093-15202-001) includes a short adapter cable with BNC(m)-N(f) connectors. All primary antenna cables use N(m) connectors on either end. A single cable must be used between the adapter cable and the next accessory (lightning arrestor, inline amplifier, or antenna). Lightning arrestors include a 25-foot cable to connect to the next accessory (inline amplifier or antenna).

Very Long Antenna Cables or Electrical Isolation

For very long antenna cable runs or for electrical isolation and protection from the outside environment, GNSS-over-Fiber links are very useful. Microchip offers a GNSS-over-Fiber link that can transmit the GPS/Galileo/GLONASS/BeiDou signals up to 6.2 miles (10,000 Km) over single mode fiber. The drop-in, intermediate link solution works with the standard Microchip antennas and accessories used to link the receiver to the antenna.
