NovAtel Inc. has launched the GPS-704-WB wideband antenna, which supports L-band and the frequencies of all current GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou), including B3 and E6 signals. Customers can use the antenna for GPS-only or multi-constellation applications, giving application developers flexibility, NovAtel said.

The phase center offset of the antenna remains constant as the azimuth and elevation angle of the satellites change, making it a good choice for baselines of any length. Installation is easy, NovAtel said. because the antenna shares the same form factor as other NovAtel GPS-700 series antennas. It is enclosed in a durable, waterproof housing. Its compact, lightweight size makes it suitable for a wide variety of environments and applications, the company said.
