Calian GNSS, formerly Tallysman Wireless, has launched three new low-profile, light-weight housed helical antennas to its industry-leading line of GNSS antennas.
Calian’s new family of low-profile helical antennas is housed in a very light (32 g) and compact form factor 34 mm top and 44 mm diameter base and they are 54 mm tall.
The difference between the new and previous generation antenna is that the new models are 10 mm shorter and 10 grams lighter, while all new models provide the same great performance as the previous generation. All antennas support Calian’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. Calian’s XF technology mitigates all these out of band signals.
The HC882SXF GNSS housed helical antenna supports GPS/QZSS-L1/L2, GLONASS-G1/G2/G3, Galileo-E1/E5b, and BeiDou-B1/B2b frequency band tracking.
Next, the HC885SXF GNSS helical antenna supports GPS/QZSS-L1/L5, GLONASS-G1/G3, Galileo-E1/E5a/E5b, and BeiDou-B1/B2a/B2b frequency band tracking.
Lastly, the HC977SXF GNSS helical antenna supports GPS/QZSS-L1/L2/L5, GLONASS-G1/G2/G3, Galileo-E1/E5a/E5b, and BeiDou-B1/B2a/B2b frequency bands. All three antennas also support the satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) available in the region of operation: [WAAS (North America), EGNOS (Europe), MSAS (Japan), or GAGAN(India)].
Calian has been a stable and growing company for 40 years, headquartered in Ottawa with offices and projects spanning North American and international markets. Visit the company’s website to learn about innovative healthcare, communications, learning and cybersecurity solutions.
