Description

Iridium SBD Antenna – External Encapsulated – SMA Connector

Part of the Iridium SBD series of Dielectrix antennas from Helix Geospace which are highly resilient, ruggedised designed and developed for hand-held and other products where size and performance are critical.

The HXDC16410-SA00 is a high-performance antenna created for the Iridium network built upon Dielectrix technology. Helix’s Iridium antennas feature exceptional multi-path (reflected) signal selectivity and are resistant to RF and electrical noise. They’re balanced and isolated from platform ground, so they’re resilient to common-mode noise. They’re also unaffected by nearfield object de-tuning. Satelles STL (Satellite Time and Location) services, which are utilised for GPS backup, are also supported by the antenna.

Helix Geospace Iridium Block 1 series antennas are ideally suited for Iridium applications in which resilience and compact form factor are essential:

• All Iridium voice and SBD (Short Burst Data) applications – satphones and terminals
• Satelles STL service applications
• Defence/security/CNI/first responder
• Asset tracking and fleet vehicle tracking
• Internet of Things
• Personal safety devices
• Hand-held and wearable devices
• Autonomous vehicles and drones
• Industrial/Oil & gas/Mining

HXDC1 Series of Antennas

The SBD Series of Dielectrix Antennas from Helix Geospace are highly resilient, ruggedised Iridium band

antennas designed for hand-held and other products where size and performance are critical.

These antennas have high discrimination against multi-path (reflected) signals and are resilient to RF and electricalnoise. They are balanced and isolated from platformground, ensuring resilience to common-mode noise, and are unaffected by nearfield object de-tuning. The antenna also supports Satelles STL (Satellite Time and Location) services, that are used for GPS back-up.

Dielectrix Antennas deliver high performance that belies their small size, due to the patent-protected use of specialised dielectric core material. The antenna is available with a protective radome or in embedded formats — bare antennas that customers can design their own radomes for or integrate directly into their products.
