The HX-CH7603A provides a high peak gain of greater than 3.5dBi and a wide beam width to ensure high signal receiving performance at low elevation angles. Constructed with an O-ring and gold-plated SMA connector, the assembly is rated IP67 once installed on a mating surface. The HX-CH7603A is ideal for applications requiring minimal integration or for retrofitting existing products.

Other features of the HX-CH7603A include:

  • High stability and high repeatability at phase center
  • Very low noise
  • GIS & RTK applications
  • Ground plane independent
  • Ultra light weight of 37g
