The TW3470/TW3472 employs Tallysman’s unique

Accutenna? technology in its 40dB fixed mount

Timing antennas covering the GPS L1, GLONASS L1

and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS & MSAS) frequency bands

(1574 to 1606 MHz). They are especially designed for

timing, precision and military applications and offer

excellent circular polarized signal reception,

multipath rejection and out of band signal rejection.

The TW3440/TW3442 feature a highly circular dualfeed

wideband patch element, with a three stage Low

Noise Amplifier. This configuration provides excellent

axial ratio that is constant across the full frequency

band. An optional tight pre-filter is available with part

number TW3472 to protect against saturation by high

level sub-harmonics and L-Band signals.

The TW3470/TW3472 is housed in a permanent

mount industrial grade weather-proof enclosure. Two

options for pole mounting are available an L-bracket

(P/N#23-0040-0) or a pipe mount (P/N#23-0065-0).
