Heights, IL August 26, 2004-- Antenex has released a new family of multi-band Survivor antennas. The antenna is designed for installations ranging from heavy equipment to police pursuit vehicles but is esthetically pleasing enough to be used on a luxury automobile. The antenna employs a pre-amplified GPS patch for timing and location along with an external antenna available in several choices of land based and Orbcomm based frequencies and gain configurations. The external antenna utilizes a black chrome plated antenna element with a black chrome plated stainless steel shock spring. Both 14 foot long transmission lines pass through a 5/8" diameter mounting stud and are terminated with an SMB plug for GPS and a type N male connector. Inside, a pre-amplified, 28db, right hand circularly polarized active patch is used. The GPS patch antenna pre-amplifier requires a bias voltage of +3.3 to +5V DC which is sampled from the antenna port of the GPS receiver device. The new models feature a lower profile, weatherproof molded housing that resist impact, and absorbs vibration. It also features a soft mounting pad to protect the vehicle finish.
