L1/L2/L5 GNSS/Iridium Passive Omni Antenna
Global Foxcom’s L1/L2/L5 GNSS/Iridium Passive Omni-Directional Antenna supports GPS/GNSS and Iridium signals across a 1.164–1.65 GHz frequency range through a single passive transmit / receive antenna assembly. The RHCP polarized antenna uses an omni-directional hemispherical radiation pattern for broad signal coverage around the installation point. The IP67 enclosure and supplied pole-mounting bracket support outdoor repeater deployments.

What signals does the L1/L2/L5 GNSS/Iridium Passive Omni Antenna support?
The antenna supports GPS/GNSS and Iridium signals across the 1.164–1.65 GHz frequency range. Its passive architecture provides a common RF interface for compatible repeater applications using these supported communication bands.
How does the omni-directional hemispherical radiation pattern support antenna placement?
The hemispherical radiation pattern provides broad RF coverage around the antenna position. This supports installations where signal transmission and reception are required across the surrounding area rather than through a fixed directional path.
How does antenna gain vary across supported GNSS bands?
The antenna provides +3dBi L1 gain at zenith and -2dBi L2 gain. These characteristics define the antenna performance across the supported GNSS frequency bands.
How does the antenna support outdoor repeater installations?
The IP67-rated enclosure and supplied pole-mounting bracket support outdoor placement where protection from environmental exposure is required. The antenna operates within a temperature range of -30 to +75°C.
