Fixed and portable GNSS antennas

A GNSS antenna is an essential component of a GNSS receiver system, which receives satellite signals and calculates the accurate position. The primary function of a GNSS antenna is to receive these signals and pass them along to the GPS receiver. This transfer allows the GPS receiver to calculate its position, speed, and direction. There are many types of GNSS antennas, each with its unique benefits.

How does a Multi-GNSS Antenna work? 

A multi-GNSS antenna is an antenna that can receive signals from more than one GNSS constellation. The most common constellations from which a multi-GNSS antenna can receive signals are GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo. Multi-GNSS antennas can receive signals from all four GNSS constellations, which provides the user with the most accurate position possible.

Multi-GNSS antennas receive signals from several GNSS constellations and then pass the information to the GPS receiver. The GPS receiver uses the information from the antenna to pinpoint the antenna’s location.

The main purpose of GPS Antenna Systems?

GPS antenna systems receive and amplify satellite signals. The amplified signal is passed to the GPS receiver, which uses the information to calculate the antenna’s location. GPS polarized antennas only receive signals vertically or horizontally polarized. It has noise amplifiers that allow the GPS receiver to filter out noise and interference from other sources.

The primary purpose of GPS antenna systems is to provide a clear and accurate signal to the GPS receiver without interference. 

GNSS Antenna Systems type

CR-G5

If you’re establishing a new CORS network or upgrading an existing service, the CR-G5 is the perfect antenna for all high-accuracy 24/7 GNSS signal reception needs.

Utilizing an array of vertical convex dipoles, we designed the CR-G5 full choke ring antenna for high-accuracy networking applications based on our TA-5 full-spectrum GNSS element.

By providing full-wave tracking technology for existing and future GNSS signals, including Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS, the CR-G5 addresses the evolving requirements for reference networks and infrastructure monitoring applications.

G5-A1

A rugged housing combined with full-constellation GNSS tracking, this antenna has been designed for tracking all currently broadcast signals as well as those planned for the future. This economical alternative to our CR-G5 high-accuracy infrastructure antenna fits almost any budget yet yields high-quality results at the same time, thanks to its all-in-view tracking.

This ruggedized GNSS geodetic antenna is ideal for pairing with modular base receivers in your network. It is cost-sensitive for budget-minded customers, yet fully capable of tracking all available satellite signals, with future-proof firmware updates that accommodate constellation expansion. Fully capable of all-in-view tracking of GNSS signals, the G5-A1 antenna provides clean, precise positioning data for all your infrastructure needs.

PG-F1

The PG-F1 is a full-constellation antenna that provides reliable solutions by tracking GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, SBAS and L-Band satellites.

PG-F1 is compact and features an ultra-rugged design with integrated ground plane. The PG-F1 antenna supports a wide range of GNSS constellations. Paired with any Topcon modular or handheld GNSS receiver, it provides a high-performance RTK system.

Ready for even the toughest challenges the PG-F1 offers a dust and water resistance rating of IP67, as well as a superior level of vibration and shock tolerance (IEC 60068-2).

PN-A5

Revolutionary semi-hemispherical GNSS antenna

The PN-A5 antenna combines our TA-5 full-spectrum GNSS antenna element with an innovative convex impedance ground plane. The TA-5 antenna element utilizes an array of vertical dipoles to provide highly sensitive and stable full wave signal tracking for all existing and planned GNSS signals. Our new convex impedance ground plane provides improved multipath mitigation while providing minimum signal loss for satellites tracked to the horizon.
