Tallysman TW7972XF Extended-Filter Triple-Band GNSS Antenna + L-Band

Description

Overview

The TW7972XF extended-filter triple-band GNSS antenna features a precision-tuned, twin circular dual-feed, stacked patch element. The signals from the two orthogonal feeds are combined in a hybrid combiner, amplified in a wideband LNA, then band-split for narrow filtering in each band and further amplified prior to recombination at the output. The TW7972XF offers excellent axial ratio and a tightly grouped phase centre variation.

The radio frequency spectrum has become more congested as new LTE bands are activated and their signals or harmonic frequencies [e.g. 800MHz x 2 = 1600MHz (GLONASS-G1)] can affect GNSS antennas and receivers. In North America, planned Ligado signals at 1525 – 1536 MHz can especially impact GNSS antennas that support space-based L-band correction services (1539 – 1559 MHz). New LTE signals in Europe [Band 32 (1452 – 1496 MHz)] and Japan [Bands 11 and 21 (1476 – 1511 MHz)] have also been observed to interfere with GNSS signals. In addition, Inmarsat satellite communication (uplink: 1626.5 – 1660.5 MHz) can also affect GNSS signals. The new Tallysman XF antennas have been designed to mitigate out-of-band signals and prevent GNSS antenna saturation. Tallysman’s custom XF filtering mitigates all existing signals and new Ligado and LTE signals, enabling the antennas and attached GNSS receivers to perform optimally.

This antenna is ideal for precision agriculture, autonomous vehicle tracking and guidance, and other applications where precision matters. The TW7972XF provides superior multipath signal rejection, a linear phase response, and tight phase centre variation (PCV).

The TW7972XF is housed in a magnetic mounted, IP67 weatherproof enclosure.
