33-HC600

## HC600 

## **HC600 Passive Iridium Helical Antenna** 

**Frequency Coverage: Iridium** 

The HC600 passive helical antenna is designed to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of communications over voice and data modems on the Iridium® frequency band (1616.0 - 1626.5 MHz). 

Weighing only 24 g, the light and compact HC600 features a precision-tuned helix element that provides excellent axial ratios and operates without the requirement of a ground plane, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). 

All Tallysman housed helical antenna elements are protected by a robust military-grade IP67compliant plastic enclosure. The enclosure’s base provides two threaded inserts for secure attachment, as well as a rubber O-ring around the outer edge to seal the antenna base and its integrated male SMA connector. 

Tallysman’s helical family has passed a rigorous 30-hour vibration test procedure, consisting of five cycles of 2-hour tests per axis (x, y, z): 

- Cycle 1: 1.05 Grms; 

- Cycle 2: 1.20 Grms; 

- Cycle 3: 1.35 Grms; 

- Cycle 4: 3.67 Grms; 

- Cycle 5: 3.67 Grms.
