Multiband Antennaspresents New Solar Wedge antenna for the Orbcomm satellite network Designed by Webb Industries
Reference Testing • Performance of ACA miniBAR, WTT, MSA/BOH/Ribbit/Solar Wedge* compared to a popular low profile reference antenna** • Stelperform comparison on vertical and horizontal metal surfaces – 40 byte messages sent every minute to satellite – max 60 messages per hour • *All part of the same development now resulting in the Solar Wedge range and the RIBBIT • **Popular low profile antenna is based on a ¼ wave design – not a ½ wave BOH & ACA miniBAR Solar Wedge MSA aka WTT
Latest relative test results from Webb JBG • 12.1% improvement on Time-to-live for Solar Wedge/Ribbit vs. Popular Antenna on 13-byte msgs • We measure 45% improvement for Solar Wedge/Ribbit vs. Popular Antenna on Acquire Burst success • We have measured a 5 dB improvement in gain for the Solar Wedge/Ribbit, confirmed using an array of attenuators and unity gain antenna
