HC882 Triple Band Helical Antenna + L-band

Description

Overview

The lightweight HC882 helical antenna, which covers the GPS L1/L2, GLONASS G1/G2/G3, Galileo E1/E5b, and BeiDou B1/B2 frequency bands, as well as L-band correction services, is designed and crafted for precision positioning.

Weighing 37 g, the lightweight HC882 features a precision-tuned helix element that provides excellent axial ratios and operates without the requirement of a ground plane, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

The HC95 features an industry-leading low current, Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) that includes an integrated low- loss pre-filter to protect against harmonic interference from high amplitude interfering signals, such as 700 MHz band LTE and other near in-band cellular signals. The HC882 is protected by a robust, military-grade plastic enclosure with an integrated SMA connector for screw-on mounting that securely seals the unit with an O-ring, complying with IP67 standards. The enclosure also provides three threaded holes in the base for secure attachment of the unit.
