In the market for an upgrade on your GPS antennas to improve your wireless connectivity? You owe it to yourself to check out Swiss manufacturer HUBER+SUHNER’s portfolio of standard and customized GPS and GLONASS antennas.
Because what you want in your antennas you use for wireless connectivity is – let us guess here – accurate timing, phase and frequency synchronization for your wireless networks, are we right? Handover, TDD scheduling, interference cancellation and terminal location tracking, all that and more are based on GPS or Glonass time reference.
This is what gives HUBER+SUHNER’s portfolio of antennas their wireless connectivity competitive advantage. Small and inconspicuous by design, they’re engineered specifically for high performance in the synchronization of mobile communication base stations, company officials say, “and the support of position detection for mobile terminal equipment.”
Their GPS/Glonass antennas have low-noise preamplifiers, integral lightning and overvoltage protection, important considerations since they’re often in an exposed position and need these robust capabilities. And you don’t need external EMP protection with these, since they have the location of the EMP protection in the antennas. Part of this being built to withstand the elements is their cone-shaped radome, which prevents snow, ice and dirt deposits.
In the full catalogue, company officials listed some applications of the antennas as being for “timing and frequency synchronizations in cellular base stations derived from the GPS or GLONASS signal,” and also in use of tracking mobile terminal equipment, such as with position detection systems.
These wireless connectivity solutions come with a low-noise preamplifier for compensation of antenna cable loss, company officials say, and offer “integrated lightning and overvoltage protection” as well as the ability to support timing and frequency synchronization in mobile communication networks.
