## VeraChoke® 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 

## Overview 

The patented VeraChoke® VC6050 antenna is a full GNSS spectrum antenna. It has consistent performance (gain, axial ratio, PCV, and PCO) across the full bandwidth of the antenna. It provides the lowest axial ratios (zenith to the horizon, over all azimuths) across all GNSS frequencies (< 0.3 dB at zenith, < 3.0 dB typ. at horizon). It has an exceptional front to back ratio, high efficiency (> 80%), a tight PCV, and near constant PCO for all azimuth and elevation angles, over all in-Band frequencies. 

The VC6050 provides a high receive gain over the full GNSS spectrum: Low GNSS band (1160 MHz to 1300 MHz), L-Band correction services (1539 MHz to 1559 MHz) and High GNSS band (1559 MHz to 1606 MHz). 

It has a robust pre-filtered LNA, based on ceramic filters to minimize performance variation with temperature, with high IP3 to minimize de-sensing from high-level outof-band signals, including 700 MHz LTE, while still providing a low noise figure. 

The VC6050 is compatible with the short SCIGN radome and requires a SCIGN mount adapter if the tall SCIGN radome is selected (SCIGN radomes sold separately). 

## Applications 

- Survey Base Stations 

- RTK / PPP systems 

- High-Precision GNSS systems 

- Reference Networks 

- Monitoring Stations 

## Features 

- Low axial ratios from zenith to horizon 

- Calibrated by Geo++® 

- Very tight phase centre variation (< 1.0 mm) 

- Low current (35 mA) 

- Invariant performance from 2.7 to 24 VDC 

## Benefits 

   - Consistent performance across all frequencies 

   - Extreme precision 

   - Excellent multipath rejection 

- IP67, REACH, and RoHS compliant
