Accutenna™
TW3740/3742 High Gain Multi-Constellation Antenna
The TW3740 and TW3742 are precision high gain
GNSS antennas covering the BeiDou B1, Galileo E1,
GPS L1, GLONASS L1 and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, QZSS
& MSAS) frequency band (1557 to 1606 MHz). It
employs Tallysman’s unique
Accutenna™
technology
providing truly circular polarized signal reception
through the entire bandwidth of the antenna, thereby
providing superior multipath signal rejection. It is
especially designed for precision timing, industrial,
agricultural,
military,
and
other
precision
applications.
The TW3740 features a three 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. An optional tight pre-filter is
available on the TW3742 to protect against
saturation by high level sub-harmonic and L-Band
signals.
The TW3740/TW3742 is housed in a permanent
mount metal base with two nickel coated nuts and a
weather-proof enclosure. Two options for mounting
are available: an L-bracket (P/N#23-0040-0) or a
pipe mount (P/N#23-0065-0).
