HC976SXF GPS/GNSS Antenna by Calian

The HC976SXF from Calian is a Multi-Constellation GNSS Antenna that supports GPS, QZSS, Galileo, BeiDou, GLONASS, SBAS, and L-band correction services. It is designed to enable precise positioning in a variety of applications, including UAVs. It features the 2nd generation of Tallysman helix element, which is roughly 25% lighter and 20% shorter than the 1st generation element, while maintaining high peak gain, optimal axial ratio, and low roll-off. This RHCP polarized antenna also integrates eXtended Filtering technology to mitigate new RF bands that interfere with GNSS signals. It provides up to 2.5 dBi of gain at Zenith, and has an axial ratio of less than 0.5 dB.

The HC976SXF GNSS antenna also incorporates an LNA with 28 dB gain and 2.5 dB noise figure, and a low-pass pre-filter with more than 80 dB of stopband rejection. The LNA requires a DC supply of 2.5-16 V and draws 26 mA of current. This integrated GNSS antenna is available in an IP67-rated LEXAN EXL9330 radome enclosure that measures 44.6 x 52.6 mm and has M2.5 screws & SMA (male) connectors. The base of the enclosure provides 2x threaded inserts for secure attachment, along with an O-ring around the outer edge for environmental sealing. This antenna is ideal for land survey, timing, network synchronization, fleet management, asset tracking, marine, avionics, and public safety applications.
