TW3400/TW3402 GPS/GLONASS Antenna
The TW3400/TW3402 are professional grade
GNSS antennas covering the GPS L1, GLONASS L1
and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS & MSAS) frequency band
(1574 to 1606 MHz). They are especially designed
for precision industrial, agricultural and military
applications and offers excellent circular polarized
signal reception, multipath rejection and out of
band signal rejection.
The TW3400/TW3402 feature a highly circular
dual-feed wideband patch element, with a two
stage Low Noise Amplifier, comprised of one input
LNA per feed, a mid section SAW to filter the
combined output, and a final output gain stage.
This configuration provides excellent axial ratio
that is constant across the full frequency band. An
optional tight pre-filter is available on the TW3402
to protect against saturation by high level sub-
harmonic and L-Band signals.
The TW3400/TW3402 is housed in a permanent
mount industrial grade weather-proof enclosure.
Two options for pole mounting are available an L-
bracket (P/N#23-0040-0) or a pipe mount
(P/N#23-0065-0).
