## HC990EXF
## Embedded Multi-Constellation Full-Band Antenna
**Frequency Coverage:** GPS L1, L2, L5 | QZSS L6 | GALILEO E1, E5a, E5b, E6 | BEIDOU B1, B2a, B2b, B3 | GLONASS G1, G2, G3 | NavIC L5 + L-Band
The patented HC990EXF eXtended-filter embedded low-profile helical antenna is designed for precision positioning, covering the GPS/QZSS-L1/L2/L5, QZSS-L6, GLONASS-G1/G2/G3, Galileo-E1/E5a/E5b/E6, BeiDou-B1/B2/B2a/B3, and NavIC-L5 frequency bands, including the satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) available in the region of operation [WAAS (North America), EGNOS (Europe), MSAS (Japan), or GAGAN (India)], as well as L-band correction services.
The patent-pending HC990EXF utilizes Calian's latest wideband helical element design. The antenna element provides 67 MHz of signal bandwidth supporting the entire upper GNSS band and L-Band corrections (1539 - 1606 MHz) and 136 MHz of the lower band signal bandwidth (1164 - 1300 MHz). The other key component of the antenna is the axial ratio, which is a measure of how well the antenna captures the broadcast Right Hand Circular Polarized (RHCP) signal and mitigates the reflected LHCP signals. The Tallysman HC990EXF has a high peak gain of 2.5 dBi and 0.5 dB axial ratio at zenith, enabling excellent multipath mitigation and a very precise phase centre.
Weighing only 11 g, the light and compact HC990E 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).
The HC990EXF antenna supports Calian's eXtended Filtering (XF) technology. Worldwide the radio frequency spectrum has become congested as many new LTE bands have been activated, and their signals or harmonic frequencies can affect GNSS antennas and receivers. In North America, the planned Ligado service, which will broadcast in the frequency range of 1526 to 1536 MHz, can affect GNSS signals. Similarly, new LTE signals in Europe [Band 32 (1452 – 1496 MHz)] and Japan [Bands 11 and 21 (1476 – 1511 MHz)] have also affected GNSS signals. Calian's XF technology mitigates all these signals.
The HC990EXF must be installed carefully, as ground planes below the antenna can affect its tuning. To facilitate a successful installation and optimum antenna performance, Tallysman also provides an Embedded Helical Antenna Installation Guide. Mounting instructions available on our product page.
