Introduction The Taoglas MagmaX2 AA.200 is an active GNSS magnetic mount antenna for use across most major 1.constellations Introduction including GPS (L1/L2/L5), GLONASS (G1/G2/G5), Galileo(E1/E5a/E5b) and BeiDou(B1/B2). The antenna exhibits excellent gain and good radiation pattern stability leading to a reliable GPS fix in areas of weaker signal strength. These elements combine to ensure the best possible positional accuracy in both RTK and non-RTK systems. 1. Introduction Typical applications include: - UAVs and Robotics - RTK Systems 1. Introduction 1. Introduction - Autonomous Vehicles - Precision Agriculture - High Accuracy Positioning - Navigation The AA.200 provides excellent positional accuracy, this is due to outstanding signal to noise ratio(C/N0) and a low axial ratio of less than 2 thus ensuring the antenna maintains stable when a location is required. With great 2DRMS and Fast time to first fix the AA.200 is the ideal antenna solution for Multiband GNSS RTK Systems as it performs very well, with stable gains and low axial ratio values across all major GNSS bands. The AA.200 includes LNAs and front-end SAW filters to reduce out of band noise, such as from nearby cellular transceivers. It offers better protection from nearby radiated power surges and greatly reduces the probability of damaging your GNSS receiver from nearby transmissions. The AA.200 has 1 cable feed as the L1, L2 and L5 feeds are combined with a hybrid coupler and the antenna performance results are shown in the below sections. The cable and connector are fully customizable, subject to NRE and MOQ. For further information please contact your regional Taoglas customer support team. SPE-20-8-002-E www.taoglas.com 2.
