  • Excellent GNSS tracking from low elevation angles
  • Extreme accuracy and precision
  • Excellent multipath rejection

Details

The light and compact embedded VeroStar™ VSM6028L is designed and crafted for high-accuracy positioning while being robust and reliable.

With an exceptionally low roll-off from zenith to the horizon, the VeroStar™ antenna provides the best-in-class tracking of GNSS and L-band correction signals from low elevation angles. In addition, the optimized axial ratio at all elevation angles results in excellent multipath rejection, thus enabling accurate and precise code and phase tracking of GNSS and L-band correction signals.

A wide-band spherical antenna element enables the VeroStar™ to deliver a ±2 mm phase centre variation (PCV), making it ideal for high-precision applications, such as autonomous vehicle navigation (land, sea, and air), smart survey devices, and maritime positioning.

The VeroStar™ antenna features a robust pre-filter and high-IP3 LNA architecture, minimizing de-sensing from high-level out-of-band signals, including 700 MHz LTE, while still providing a noise figure of only 1.8 dB.

The embedded VeroStar™ antenna has passed shock and vibration tests to ensure it can survive the rigours of day-to-day field use.
