What are the specifications of the ADS-B antenna?
CXL 1090-1LW
Our brand new ADS-B antenna, we are using for worldwide installations.
Description
- CXL 1090-1LW is a 0 dBd, vertically polarized, omnidirectional base station and marine antenna, which covers the 1090 MHz band.
- Provided with the sturdy “LW” mast mount – a lightweight, multipurpose, epoxy-coated mounting bracket made of non-corrosive aluminium.
- Specially designed for ADS-B aerial surveillance.
- The accompanying U-bolts and fittings are made of stainless steel.
- To be mounted on vertical or horizontal mast tubes, 16 to 54 mm in outer diameter.
- The cable can be led either on the outside or along the inside of the mast tube.
- Large bandwidth with respect to both SWR and gain.
- The carefully designed, broad-banded antenna element is sealed in a high-quality, conical glass fiber tube with low wind load, which will ensure performance undisturbed by corrosive environments.
- To substantially reduce noise caused by atmospherical discharges, all metal parts in the antenna are DC-grounded. Consequently, the antenna shows a DC-short across the coaxial cable.
- The CXL 1090-1LW is a vibration-proof, lightweight, slim-line, corrosion-resistant, modern-style base station and marine antenna.
No internet connection?
The ADS-B receiver requires an active cable internet connection, but we can provide you with a 4G modem if that is not possible.
Is it possible to place the ADS-B receiver outside?
Yes. It is possible to place the ADS-B receiver outdoor using a Fibox installation. The ADS-B receiver is placed within the Fibox and there is room for additional components inside, e.g. modem and power supplies.
The measurements of the box is 27 x 27 x 19 cm.
Is our ADS-B data safe?
The ADS-B network solution utilizes security levels comparable to other industry-standard security solutions based on a hardened Linux operating system. Public access to the network is impossible and data is delivered to a secure, redundant ADSB Support server (Plug’n’Play security). ADSB SUPPORT Aps will cooperate with you as an ADS-B network solution partner on any security-related issues.
