“...suited to high performance in iridium applications, particularly when worn close to the body.”
SL3101 & SL3105 Passive Iridium Antenna
Built on patented PowerHelix® filtering antenna technology, the SL3101 & SL3105 Iridium antennas provide high performance in difficult Iridium applications using an decafilar helix design. The SL3101 & SL3105 antennas are ideal in applications where:
- the device is handheld, body-worn, or otherwise surrounded by high-dielectric materials that would de-tune conventional antennas
- the antenna is tightly integrated with other antennas, e.g., Iridium/GPS receivers
- there are tight constraints on the size of the device or the amount of space allocated to ground planes
Applications:
Any product using Iridium modems.
