## M1559CWT L1: GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU
Part #: 100-00118-01
## **Description**
The M1559CWT is an active multi-frequency, high accuracy, GNSS antenna for the L1 GPS, Galileo, Beidou and GLONASS band. The antenna’s excellent radiation pattern, exceptional out-of-band rejection, minimal group delay variation, and low noise figure ensures optimal performance of GNSS systems. It features a 5 m cable with an integrated SMA, SMB, or MCX connector (customer choice). The M1559CWT is ideal for applications requiring minimal integration effort or for retrofitting existing products and is rated IP67. The antenna is manufactured using automotive grade housing. **Passive Antenna Performance** Parameter Specification Frequency 1559-1610 MHz (L1, E1, B1, B1-2, G1) ~~———~~ Peak Efficiency 40% Polarization RHCP Realized Gain 3.3 dB ~~———~~ Axial Ratio Max 2.7 dB at the Zenith VSWR Max 2.3:1 Beamwidth 100˚ ~~ee~~ va **Phase Center Variation Features** Maximum Phase Center Variation (mm)

## **L1 Band Radiation Patterns**
Maxtena’s M1559CWT uses patented optimized microstrip technology which results in minimal dependence on frequency and features wide beamwidth, low axial ratio and radiation pattern symmetry across all desired frequencies in the L1 band.
**RHCP Realized Gain [dBic] - Elevation Cuts**
**RHCP Realized Gain [dBic] - Azimuth Cuts**
A 100 degree beamwidth ensures excellent hemispherical coverage.

## **Excellent Group Delay Variation**
Using GPS carrier phase to increase accuracy in GNSS applications has been proven reliable and has made mm-level accuracy possible. However, in resolving carrier phase ambiguity, it is necessary to make sure carrier phase is received and measured accurately and the effect of antenna and receiver on carrier phase is minimized. Maxtena’s M1559CWT has a flat response over its specified GNSS band and has minimal group delay variation over frequency.
## **Filtering and LNA Performance**
Maxtena’s M1559CWT antenna has a flat response over the L1 band, with less than 1 dB variation over it. The superior out-of-band rejection ensures minimal interference.
