Its IP67-rated housing provides durability in outdoor environments, and the antenna can be mounted using either a magnetic base or an adhesive pad. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications where secure and reliable installation is required. ## **Typical Applications** - Vehicle and fleet tracking - Asset and equipment monitoring - Outdoor mobile applications - General GPS positioning systems The antenna delivers strong RHCP gain across the top hemisphere, ensuring fast and stable satellite acquisition. At zenith, the low axial ratio supports excellent circular polarisation, improving signal quality and reducing multipath effects. The integrated low noise amplifier enhances weak signals and maintains low power consumption, which ensures consistent GNSS performance even in demanding conditions. The MIKE 3A is supplied with standard cable lengths and SMA male connectors, and alternative options can be specified for highvolume projects.
