  • Excellent multipath rejection


Details

The light and compact embedded VeroStar™ VSS6337L 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), machine control, and precision agriculture.

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 surface-mount antenna has passed a battery of tests (water pressure, altitude, salt fog, shock, drop, and vibration) to ensure it can survive the rigours of day-to-day field use.

The unique features of the VeroStar™ antenna guarantee it can deliver high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and highly accurate and precise code and phase  tracking of GNSS signals from all elevation angles in the most challenging environments.
