MXTENA1401-SMA Starpak Iridium Stub Helix Antenna

MXTENA1401-SMA Iridium Stub Helix Antenna, with SMA-male connector
This a high performance antenna designed for the Iridium network, and built on proprietary Helicore® technology.

Patented Helicore technology uses air as dielectric core and minimizes typical losses associated with ceramic materials.
This technology provides exceptional pattern control, polarization purity and high efficiency in a very compact form factor.

APPLICATION:
Connects to any Iridium device via cable, featuring a SMA-Female Connector to connect to this Stub antenna connector(SMA-Male)
