AST Passive Antenna

This a rugged passive Iridium antenna designed to operate in harsh environments. The antenna’s radome is 4 mm thick GRP, whilst the base is milled from aluminum and hard anodised giving an attractive green finish, which is mechanically resilient and resistant to corrosion.

Max Diameter: 8.7 cm
Height (including connector): 10.0 cm
Weigh (including bracket)t: 1kg
Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
Connector: TNC Female
Impedance: 50 Ohms
VSWR: less than 2:1
Frequency: 1610 - 1630 MHz
Polarization: Right hand circular

 

AST Active Antenna

The Iridium antenna is designed for use with 30m (98 feet) or 40m (131 feet) of RG213U coaxial cable terminated with type ‘N’ connectors. Designed for harsh environments, it consists of two RHCP dipole antennae housed within 4mm thick GRP radomes mounted on a common base. One antenna is for signal transmission and one for reception. A linear power amplifier within the base and connected to the transmitting antenna compensates for signal loss incurred mainly by the connecting cable. Similarly, a low noise amplifier is attached to the receiving antenna via a low loss interdigital filter to boost the signal sent to the telephone.

Using manufacturing techniques proven for a range of extremely rugged GPS/DGP active antennae, the antenna base is milled from aluminium and hard anodised, giving an attractive green finish, which is mechanically resilient and resistant to corrosion. The antenna’s mass is 2.6kg.

 

Cable Kit

Cable Kit

To assure the strongest possible signal in building you will want the optimal location for your Fixed Mast Antenna. The cable kit is available in lengths of 8, 14 or 20metres which would suit most typical installations.

The coaxial cable or custom cable kit is required to provide a connection between the Fixed Mast Antenna and the Iridium phone.

Antenna lead-in cable and connectors, outside coaxial cable and connectors, Lightning surge suppressor, and inside coaxial cable and connectors.
