M2M Connectivity M1516HCT helical GPS/GLONASS low-profile precision antenna

The M1516HCT is claimed to be the world’s first helical GPS/GLONASS low-profile precision antenna. This lightweight and compact (18 base x 48 mm height) passive device is designed for precision handhelds, industrial, agricultural, government and military applications and offers good gain, axial ratio, multipath rejection and out-of-band signal rejection.

Featuring a housed weatherproof single helical element, the Maxtena quadrifilar antenna uses advanced helicore technology to achieve greater than +1.0 dBic performance in both GPS L1 and GLONASS bands for ‘dual-frequency’ precision GPS/GLONASS applications.

The axial ratio of typically 0.5 dB and upper-hemisphere efficiency >40%, enables it to operate in the most extreme conditions. It is available in SMA/TNC options.
