Designed for precision, Roke Manor Research’s satellite navigation antenna offers exceptional GPS, Galileo and GLONASS positioning accuracy.

This antenna can be used with confidence for the most demanding applications, having exceptional phase centre stability over a wide frequency range. The consistently high gain over frequency means uncompromised visibility and usability of available satellites. The optional internal amplifier and interference filtering provides enhanced reception in harsh operating environments.
