Introducing the M8HCT-A-SMA: A Cutting-Edge multiband GNSS Antenna

Maxtena has unveiled the M8HCT-A-SMA, a elegant multiband active GNSS antenna that tracks L1, L2, and L5 frequencies across GPS, Galileo, Beidou, and GLONASS systems. This antenna is specifically engineered for applications that demand higher precision than customary L1-onyl antennas, making it ideal for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), robotic systems, and other unmanned technologies.

Robust Design and Easy Integration

This antenna boasts an IP67 rating, ensuring durability in various environments. It features an integrated SMA connector and an O-ring, making it perfect for new designs that require straightforward integration or for upgrading existing systems.

Key Features of the M8HCT-A-SMA

  • Extremely low axial ratio, which minimizes multipath interference
  • Simultaneous reception across multiple GNSS signals: L1 GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou; L2 GPS L2C; Galileo E5B; GLONASS L30C; L5 GPS; GALILEO E5A
  • Consistent phase center stability across azimuth and elevation in L1 and L2 bands
  • Outstanding group delay performance
  • Independent of ground plane effects
  • Advanced RF board filtering capabilities
  • Operates effectively across a wider temperature range
  • Lower output VSWR, enhancing radiation efficiency—ensuring minimal power loss while maximizing upward radiation
  • Omni-directional design suitable for various installation scenarios
  • Remarkable low noise figure
  • Broad L1 upper band (34 MHz)
  • Superior multipath rejection capabilities

Customization for Optimal Performance

Maxtena offers comprehensive customization options for the M8HCT-A-SMA to meet specific application needs and enclosure requirements, ensuring peak performance for tailored configurations.The company employs a multi-phase approach that utilizes advanced computer modeling to evaluate both antenna and system functionality, followed by precise tuning for optimal results. This refined process has been successfully implemented across a diverse range of clients and applications, allowing for rapid market entry without compromising quality.
