Tallysman GNSS antennas with Accutenna technology

Tallysman is announcing that its range of antennas featuring proprietary Accutenna technology is optimised for today's multi-constellation satellite systems, including the European Space Agency's Galileo system, China's next-gen BeiDou, the USA's GPS, Russia's GLONASS and India's IRNSS. Additional satellites were launched by the ESA (Galileo 7 and 8) the US (GPS IIF-9) and India (IRNSS-1D) during March, and it is believed that China has also successfully launched its new generation BeiDou-3 M1. The expanding number of satellites will benefit many applications, from next-generation in-car navigation systems to coastguard search and rescue and precision agriculture.

Tallysman GNSS antennas with Accutenna technology

Tallysman's compact GNSS antenna range with Accutenna technology is future-proof: GNSS is changing, and an increasing number of receivers are capable of accessing multiple constellations - GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou - but to provide the high precision these new generation of satellites enable also requires new antenna technology. Tallysman's proprietary Accutenna dual feed patch technology used in the company's wide range of GNSS antennas provides circular response over the entire antenna bandwidth, yielding superior multi-path signal rejection-low axial ratios, tight Phase Centre Variation (PCV), and a linear phase response, giving excellent precision and price performance. Single feed patch antennas, by contrast, only provide a circular response at a single frequency and exhibit poor multipath signal rejection when receiving signals from two or more constellations. A pre-filtering option is available that gives additional protection from near out-of-band signals if required.

Gyles Panther, President, Tallysman, explains: "Today's wideband GNSS signals require a pure right-hand-circular response over a much wider bandwidth. An inadequate phase response results in poor cross-polarisation suppression, which simply cannot be overcome in the GNSS receiver chip, regardless of its capabilities. Moreover, multipath interference can be expected, even in normal reception situations. Accutenna technology is a cost-effective way to ameliorate this and is particularly beneficial in situations where precision matters."
