Overview

The patented lightweight HC882E embedded helical antenna is designed and crafted for precision positioning and covers the GPS/QZSS-L1/L2, GLONASS-G1/G2/G3, Galileo-E1/E5b, and BeiDou-B1/B2 frequency bands, as well as L-band correction services.

Features

  • Very low noise preamp: 1.6 dB typ.
  • Axial ratio: ≤ 0.5 dB at zenith
  • LNA gain 28 dB typ. or 35 dB typ.
  • Low current: 15 mA typ. or 21 mA typ.
  • ESD circuit protection: 15 kV
  • Invariant performance from 2.2 to 16 VDC
  • REACH, and RoHS compliant

Benefits

  • Extremely lightweight (8 g)
  • Ideal for L1/L2, E1/E5b RTK surveying systems
  • Great multipath rejection
  • Increased system accuracy
  • Excellent signal-to-noise ratio


Details

Weighing only 8 g, the lightweight HC882E 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 HC882E 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.

Calian’s provides an embedded helical antenna mounting ring that traps the outer edge of the circuit board to another circuit board or to any flat surface. To facilitate a successful installation and optimum antenna performance, Calian also provides an Embedded Helical Antenna Installation Guide.
