Overview

The TOXU TX-G006 is a multi-frequency active GNSS antenna designed for equipment requiring satellite signal reception across the L1, L2, and L5 frequency regions.

The antenna adopts a four-arm helical structure that supports circularly polarized GNSS signal reception and reduces sensitivity to changes in antenna orientation. This structure is particularly useful for mobile equipment that cannot always maintain a fixed horizontal attitude.

Its operating ranges of 1175–1260MHz and 1550–1610MHz cover compatible GPS, BDS, GLONASS, and Galileo signals, including frequency regions associated with GPS L1, L2 and L5; BDS B1, B2 and B3; GLONASS L1 and L2; and Galileo E1 and E5.

The integrated active circuit provides 39dB typical gain with a specified noise figure below 2.5dB. Out-of-band rejection of 50dB typical at CF ±50MHz helps reduce the influence of signals outside the intended operating bands.

The active antenna operates from a 3–10V DC bias supply with current consumption below 35mA. Power is normally supplied through the RF connection by a compatible GNSS receiver.

Its compact and lightweight configuration supports integration into UAVs, handheld terminals, tracking equipment, remote telemetry systems, mobile positioning devices, and other applications where installation space and antenna orientation may vary.

The TX-G006 is a GNSS antenna only. It does not include a GNSS receiver, RTK positioning engine, navigation processor, inertial measurement unit, correction-data modem, or positioning-data output interface.

Key Features

Four-Arm Helical Antenna Structure

The four-arm helical design supports circularly polarized GNSS signal reception in equipment where antenna orientation may change during operation.

Multi-Frequency GNSS Coverage

Covers 1175–1260MHz and 1550–1610MHz for compatible L1, L2, and L5 satellite navigation signals.

Multi-Constellation Compatibility

Supports compatible GPS, BDS, GLONASS, and Galileo signals within the specified operating ranges.

39dB Typical Active Gain

The integrated active circuit amplifies received satellite signals before transferring them to the connected GNSS receiver.

Noise Figure Below 2.5dB

The specified low-noise amplifier helps limit additional noise introduced during signal amplification.

50dB Typical Out-of-Band Rejection

The active filtering circuit provides specified rejection of signals outside the intended operating bands at CF ±50MHz.

Wide 3–10V DC Bias Input

The active antenna supports a wide receiver-supplied bias-voltage range for integration with compatible GNSS equipment.

Current Consumption Below 35mA

The specified current consumption supports integration into compatible battery-powered and mobile equipment.

50-Ohm RF Interface

The nominal 50-ohm impedance supports connection to compatible GNSS receivers and RF cable assemblies.

Compact and Lightweight Configuration

Designed for equipment with restrictions on antenna size and weight, including UAVs and handheld terminals.

Applications

• Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

• Handheld GNSS Terminals

• Mobile Positioning Equipment

• Tracking and Monitoring Devices

• Aerial Photography Platforms

• Remote Telemetry Equipment

• Navigation and Dispatch Systems

• Measurement and Control Equipment

• Multi-Frequency GNSS Receiver Systems

• RTK-Capable Positioning Systems

System Integration

The TX-G006 must be connected to a compatible GNSS receiver supporting the required constellations and frequency bands.

The antenna cannot add unsupported frequencies to the receiver. For example, L2 or L5 reception requires both an L2- or L5-capable antenna and a receiver supporting the corresponding signal.

The active antenna requires a 3–10V DC bias supply through the RF connection. Confirm the receiver’s antenna-bias voltage, current capacity, short-circuit protection, and active-antenna detection functions before connection.

Although the antenna can be integrated into an RTK positioning system, it does not independently calculate RTK positions. Positioning performance depends on the GNSS receiver, correction data, firmware, satellite visibility, RF environment, antenna installation, and complete system design.

For UAV and mobile-terminal integration, the antenna should be installed away from high-power transmitters, switching power supplies, digital clock sources, metal obstructions, motors, and other potential electromagnetic interference sources.

Final RF performance should be verified on the customer’s finished device because the enclosure, ground structure, installation position, nearby electronics, RF cable, and connector can affect reception performance.
