The V3N-A057 features a dual-feed wideband patch element, with a two stage Low Noise Amplifier, comprised of one input LNA per feed, a mid section SAW to filter the combined output, and a final output gain stage. This configuration provides excellent axial ratio that is constant across the full frequency band. An optional tight pre-filter is available with part number V3N-A057 to protect against saturation by high level sub-harmonics and L-Band signals.
The V3N-A057 is housed in a compact, industrial-grade weather-proof, magnet mount enclosure, and is available with a variety of connectors and cable lengths. The antenna can be ordered without the magnet. In such cases, the magnet is replaced with a plastic plug to provide a smooth under surface.
