A6

Ultra-Wide Band Diversity Panel Antenna

Six-Input Diversity Antenna with Up To 15dBi Gain In Any One Direction. Available in Single to Tri-band Configurations

A6 diversity ground antennas were designed to provide high-gain, 360° diversity signal reception without the cost and complexity of a dedicated tracking system. Each antenna uses six independent sectors with overlapping reception beamwidths. Integrated into the design are high-performance UHF down-converters with exceptional selectivity characteristics. This conversion to UHF lowers cost, improves efficiency while minimizing noise and cable loss.

A6 sector antennas can produce up to 15dBi gain in any one direction and are available in single to tri-band configurations.

The A6 is designed to take advantage of Troll’s Cyclops software enabled diversity receivers like the DMR8000. These receivers feature passive “loop through” so they can be daisy-chained together to receive multiple RF signal sources on different channels simultaneously. This feature makes it possible to support multiple aircraft and ground vehicles with a single diversity antenna. DMR receivers also incorporate Maximal Ratio Combining and packet switching to “knit together” signals from different antenna panels and different antenna sites to provide cohesive 360°coverage over wide operational areas.
