Tallysman HC990XF Extended-Filter Full-Band GNSS Low-Profile Helical Antenna + L-Band

Description

Overview

The HC990XF full-band GNSS low-profile helical antenna supports Tallysman’s eXtended Filtering (XF) technology. Worldwide the radio frequency spectrum has become congested as many new LTE bands have been activated, and their signals or harmonic frequencies can affect GNSS antennas and receivers. In North America, the planned Ligado service, which will broadcast in the frequency range of 1526 to 1536 MHz, can affect GNSS signals. Similarly, new LTE signals in Europe [Band 32 (1452 – 1496 MHz)] and Japan [Bands 11 and 21 (1476 – 1511 MHz)] have also affected GNSS signals. Tallysman’s XF technology mitigates all these signals.

Weighing only 45 gms, the light and compact HC990XF features a precision-tuned helix element that provides excellent axial ratios and operates without the requirement of a ground plane, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The HC990XF utilizes Tallysman’s latest wideband helical element design. The antenna element provides 67 MHz of signal bandwidth supporting the entire upper GNSS band and L-Band corrections (1539 – 1606 MHz) and 136 MHz of the lower band signal bandwidth (1164 – 1300 MHz). The other key component of the antenna is the axial ratio, which is a measure of how well the antenna captures the broadcast Right Hand Circular Polarized (RHCP) signal and mitigates the reflected LHCP signals. The Tallysman HC990XF has a high peak gain of 2.5 dBi and 0.5 dB axial ratio at zenith, enabling excellent multipath mitigation and a very precise phase centre.
