PCTEL 3978D Low Profile Antenna

PCTEL Low Profile/Phantom Antennas

PCTEL's Low Profile/Phantom Antennas offer a tough, whipless design featuring omni-directional radiation and vertical polarization. This innovative structure ensures frequency agility, low visibility, and a superior low-angle radiation pattern compared to traditional gain antennas. Key features include easy installation with optional NMO mounts and a UV-treated radome for sun damage resistance. Ideal for public safety, transportation, commercial, industrial communication, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, these antennas provide robust performance in diverse environments.

The 3978D high gain permanent mount GPS Antenna provides 40 dB gain and great high out-of-band rejection performance and is the optimum choice for GPS Tracking and Timing applications with long cable runs and stand alone GPS applications. It features a precision tuned custom ceramic patch element for maximum signal reception, 15 KV ESD circuit protection, a very low noise (0.5 dB) 3 stage LNA circuit and a SAW filter. This enables the 3978D to provide a reliable and clear GPS signal while minimizing loss-of-lock, even when conditions are less than ideal. Available in an all-plastic, non-corrosive low-profile package for vehicle mounting.
