Here
are my suggestions of antennas to consider for some common applications.
Of course, there’s no such thing as a ‘typical’
application, but these selections do tend to suit the majority of
requirements we encounter. I must emphasise, this is not a definitive
list by any means, please call us if you would like further ideas
for your antenna selection. |
| |
Application |
Consider |
 |
| Evaluation
|
Vehicle
Tracking antenna magnetic mounting, 1915LB (26 dB active) or 1911LB
(passive). |
| Marine
|
Marine
Antenna 1330FW, 26 dB active. Ideal for mast use, active due to potentially
long cable run. |
| Airborne
|
1270FW
or 1213FW. |
| Surveying
|
1370FW
Lightweight surveying antenna. |
| AVL
|
Airborne
puck antenna, single hole mounting and permanent (requires hole drilled
in vehicle). |
| AVL
(covert) |
Vehicle
Tracking Antenna Element, small and easily concealed or GPA-07-AB2 |
| Off-road
use |
Marine
antenna 1331FW or 1330FW mounted to roof rack, or airborne bolt-through
type such as 1213FW puck antenna (Magnetic mounting may not be suitable
due to bodywork types). |
| Hiking
and Vehicle Tracking antenna |
Screw-down
Orienteering type, can be sewn into (or cable-tied on to) rucksacks,
etc. |
| OEM
|
2051CZ
antenna element, or a integration surface mounting single-hole mounting
antenna. Use of antenna elements internal to OEM casing may require
characterisation of enclosure |
| We
also sell ceramic patch elements for embedding into your application. |
