TGDC16510-SA02 Iridium IoT Cartus 9704 External Antenna with SMA Connector
The Taoglas TGDC16510-SA02 Iridium IoT 9704 antenna, part of the Vortex Series, is a dielectric loaded decafilar helix, Iridium band antenna which uses patented Dielectrix antenna technology to provide the highest available efficiency per unit of size/volume.
The TGDC16510-SA02 antenna has excellent co-to-cross polarization and therefore provide useful discrimination of multi-path (reflected polarization-reversed) signals. It is balanced and isolated from platform ground, ensuring high resilience to common-mode noise and very low proximity de-tuning caused by nearby objects.
Typical Applications Include:
- Defense/security devices
- Maritime and fishing applications
- Asset tracking and fleet vehicle tracking
- Environmental monitoring sensors
- Agricultural monitoring devices
- Energy sector applications / offshore and remote sensing
- Remote industrial monitoring.
Powered By Helix Geospace, Dielectrix antennas deliver predictable installed performance despite having small size, due to operation of the dielectric-core material (patent-protected). The antenna is available as bare antennas that customers can design their own radomes for or integrate directly into their products.
Iridium IoT 9704 antennas are compliant with the Iridium technical specification IR5187-TRD-005 Issue 3 and complies with the radiation pattern mask when it is mounted in vertical orientation. It is ideally suited for integration with customer products using the Iridium IoT class transceiver.
