GPS/GLONASS antenna The Antenna has to be mounted to the highest part of the agricultural machine, and must not be obscured in order to achieve the best accuracy. There are several antenna options available for the MachineryGuide application: SM1 antenna Specifications: ● Frequency: 1575MHz ~ 1615MHz ● VSWR: 1.3 @ 1580MHz ● Bandwidth: 43MHz ● Polarization: RHCP ● Antenna gain: 27dB ● Dimensions: 37.5mm x 34.5mm x 12.5mm ● Connection: SMA ● RF cable: RG174, 2.5m ● Magnetic bottom DM1 antenna The DM1 antenna has high gain (40 dB) and multipath error rejection. Specifications: ● Frequency:...

DM1 Antenna Console The DM1 antenna can be installed with a magnetic console. The antenna goes to the top of the holder. The consol with the antenna should be installed to the top of the agricultural machine. It is very important to place it on the highest part of the vehicle, and to ensure that it is not covered, because this is indispensable to achieve the correct pass-to-pass accuracy. CM1 antenna The CM1 antenna has high gain (40 dB) and multipath error rejection. Specifications: ● Frequency: 1574 MHz ~ 1606 MHz ● Bandwidth: 31 MHz (1dB) ● Polarization: RHCP ● Antenna gain: 40 dB ●...

CM2 patch antenna The CM2 Bluetooth receiver can be used with patch antenna as well. Specifications: ● Frequency: 1164 MHz ~ 1300 MHz, 1520 ~ 1615 MHz ● Band width: 31 MHz (1dB) ● Polarization: RHCP ● Antenna gain: 40 dB ● Dimensions: 60 mm x 90 mm x 23 mm ● Connection: SMA ● Manufacturer: u-blox CM1/CM2 antenna mount The CM1/CM2 antenna is fixed in place with the help of the magnetic based mount. The mount should be fixed to the highest point of the machine being used with the CM1 or CM2 antennas. It is important that the antenna is not being covered or blocked, since this can decrease the...
