GPSANTv2: High-Performance GPS/Galileo Antenna

Key Features:

  • The next-generation GPS & Galileo antenna from Meinberg, specially designed for use with Meinberg time servers
  • Functional dome housing made of injection-molded ABS for optimum performance in elevated outdoor environments
  • Integrated frequency downscaler allows for over 1 km of transmission line using industry- standard coaxial cable
  • New integrated surge protector to provide the best possible protection against lightning strikes
  • Superior multipath rejection for mitigation of signal reflections, especially in built-up environments, enabling very high signal-to-noise ratio (approx. 50 dB)
  • Improved radiation pattern reduces interference from incidental and deliberate transmissions from certain directions

The GPSANTv2 antenna is designed by Meinberg to provide superior GPS & Galileo reception performance. An evolution of Meinberg’s distinctive and dependable GPSANT, the GPSANTv2 is also optimized for use with Meinberg’s industry-leading time & frequency synchronisation servers.

Housed in an injection-molded ABS plastic case with Meinberg's distinctive waterproof 'mushroom' design, the GPSANTv2's construction helps it to withstand the rigors of outdoor use.

The antenna features superior multipath rejection, ensuring that natural ground reflections are effectively filtered out before they even reach the antenna, providing your Meinberg receiver with a clean signal. The antenna also screens out interference from low-altitude transmissions, whether incidental or deliberate in nature.

Signal Transmission Performance
The GPSANTv2 features an integrated frequency downscaler that converts the signal on the GPS L1/Galileo E1 1575.42 MHz band to a significantly lower frequency of 35 MHz. This allows for transmission of the signal over up to 1100 m of suitable standard coaxial cable without any amplification. Please note when planning your transmission route that amplifiers cannot be used due to the bidirectional exchange of signals.

The GPSANTv2 is compatible with all Meinberg GPS and GNS-UC clock technologies, including LANTIME, IMS, and microSync time servers as well as standalone GPS receivers.
