The passive GPS/Iridium antenna provides the free-space RF interface for compatible satellite repeater installations. Its hemispherical pattern and 155° elevation beam width support broad signal distribution without narrow-beam alignment. The IP67-rated housing, −30°C to +75°C operating-temperature range and supplied pole-mounting bracket suit externally mounted RF paths. A TNC female interface connects the antenna to compatible cabling and equipment used within Coaxial GNSS Repeater Systems.

How is the antenna assigned within a repeater system?
The antenna operates as either a passive transmit or receive component, depending on its position within the connected repeater architecture.
What type of signal distribution does the radiation pattern provide?
The hemispherical radiation pattern and 155° elevation beam width provide broad RF coverage around the mounting point.
Does the antenna require directional beam alignment?
No narrow-beam alignment is required because the antenna has an omnidirectional transmit pattern and hemispherical radiation pattern.
How is the antenna installed?
The supplied pole-mounting bracket secures the antenna at the selected installation point. Its TNC female interface connects to compatible RF cabling and repeater equipment.
Is the antenna designed for outdoor conditions?
Yes. The antenna has an IP67-rated enclosure and a specified operating-temperature range of −30°C to +75°C.
