Antennas GNSS-804
CUTTING EDGE ANTENNA
TECHNOLOGY WITH SUPERIOR
TRACKING PERFORMANCE
INNOVATIVE DESIGN WITH MULTIPLE PATENTS
The VEXXIS GNSS-800 series antennas feature a patented multi-point feeding
network and radiation pattern optimization technology. In additional to having
enhanced performance in multipath environments, the GNSS-804 antenna is able
to maintain a low profile while achieving both high peak zenith gain and low gain
roll-o from zenith to horizon without sacrificing tracking performance. This new
technology significantly enhances the low-elevation angle tracking capabilities,
extending operation to the entire GNSS constellation. Furthermore, the antenna is able
to achieve greater phase center stability through our innovative element design. This
directly translates into improved carrier phase measurement and a better RTK solution.
TRACKING IN CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS
The ability to track low elevation satellites while maintaining a high gain for higher
elevation satellites makes the GNSS-804 an excellent choice for any applications
where the sky is partially visible, such as operating close to tree lines, under foliage,
or in urban canyons. The antenna is able to track any visible satellites from horizon to
zenith, providing the maximum number of observations for an enhanced positioning
solution.
NOVATEL’S TOUGHEST PRECISION ANTENNA
GNSS-800 antennas are the toughest high precision antennas NovAtel has designed
to date, ensuring their survivability even in the harshest operating environments. The
antennas feature ultra-durable watertight enclosures, and have been proven to sustain
intense vibration, earning the MIL-STD-810G rating.
