Description
Overview
The PCTEL 8178D-HR-DH-W GNSS time sync, high gain, high rejection antenna is a full GNSS band antenna covering GPS L1, GLONASS L1, Galileo E1 and Beidou B1 satellite frequency bands. PCTEL’s proprietary filtering design allows wideband coverage while achieving superior out-of-band rejection and high gain 40 dB performance. This antenna comes in a small, conical form factor to minimize perching and provide runoff. The 8178D-HR-DH-W is equipped with a TNC female connector and is ideal for any global GNSS time synchronization
application that requires an externally mounted antenna.
