A Tallysman
Accutenna™
Antenna
TW2405/TW2407 Embedded GPS/GLONASS Antenna
The TW2405/TW2407 employs Tallysman’s unique
Accutenna™
technology covering the GPS L1,
GLONASS L1 and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS & MSAS)
frequency bands (1574 to 1606 MHz). It is especially
designed for precision industrial, agricultural and
military OEM applications. It provides truly circular
response over its entire bandwidth thereby
producing superior multipath signal rejection.
The TW2405/TW2407 features a 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 with part
number TW2407 to protect against saturation by
high level sub-harmonics and L-Band signals.
The TW2405 /TW2407 comes in a compact circular
form factor with a built-in 50 mm diameter ground
plane.
