## TW8889 

## Multi-Constellation Dual-Band Antenna 

**Frequency Coverage:** GPS L1, L2 | GALILEO E1, E5b | BEIDOU B1, B2b | GLONASS G1, G2, G3 

The TW8889 employs Calian's patented Accutenna® technology providing dual-band GPS-L1/L2, GLONASSG1/G2/G3, Galileo E1/E5b, and BeiDou B1/B2b coverage and is especially designed for precision dual frequency positioning where light weight is important. 

The TW8889 features a precision tuned, circular dualfeed, stacked patch element. The signals from the two orthogonal feeds are combined in a hybrid combiner, amplified in a wide-Band LNA, then band-split for narrow filtering in each band and further amplified prior to recombination at the output. 

The TW8889 offers excellent axial ratio and a tightly grouped phase centre variation. 

The TW8889 has a pre-filter which increases the antenna’s immunity to high-amplitude interfering signals, such as LTE and other cellular signals. A 100 mm diamter ground plane is recommended for optimal antenna performance.
