Description

Iridium SBD Antenna – External Encapsulated – SMA Connector

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

The HXDC16010-SA00 is a high-performance antenna created with unique Dielectrix technology for the Iridium network. Helix’s Iridium antennas have superior multi-path (reflected) signal selectivity and are impervious to RF and electrical noise. They’re balanced and isolated from platform ground, so they’re immune 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 SBD antenna series 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.
