Maxtena unveils its newest helical antenna product, the M1227HCT series multiband-band GPS antenna. The M1227HCT uses advanced Helicore® Technology to achieve an upper-hemisphere efficiency greater than 40% in both L1 and L2 GPS bands and in an extremely small 30mm (base diameter) by 50mm (height) package weighing less than 16 grams. And unlike traditional GPS patch antennas, the M1227HCT requires no ground plane to achieve its superior performance so limited space applications are not a problem. Coupled with an integrated wideband LNA, the M1226HCT achieves +16dBic performance in both GPS L1 and L2 bands for high-precision dual frequency GPS applications. The Helicore® Technology enables this small GPS antenna to operate in the most extreme and demanding applications giving maximum satellite reception, ultra-low Dilution of Precision (DOP), and decimeter accuracy. The small size, light weight and typical axial ratio performance of 0.5dB over the entire upper hemisphere, make this precision GPS antenna perfect for a wide range of applications from lightweight handsets to man-packs to precision surveying equipment. The interface connector is available in SMA/TNC options.

CEO and President Dr. Licul is “very excited about this new antenna product. It is the only antenna of its kind available on the market today. This antenna is very small in size, lightweight and high in performance which makes it a must have for military radios, manpacks and UAV applications.” Maxtena, Inc. has again introduced a cutting edge antenna design and continues to lead antenna innovation in the market.
