Novocomms Introduces NovoSat Dual-Port Antenna to Ease L Band Load

Novocomms, the RF antenna design and manufacturing specialist, has unveiled NovoSat - a lightweight, dual-port, L Band antenna. This new antenna, designed at Novocomms' global headquarters in Birmingham, is mechanically rugged, jam resistant, and custom manufactured in the UK to maintain product integrity and security.

Featuring high performance GNSS capability, NovoSat is ideal for high density environments, "urban canyons," and rugged terrains. It also performs well in poor weather conditions, thanks to its high gain, giving unrivaled performance quality and positional accuracy while supporting dual port operation.

The NovoSat antenna weighs only 5g and can be used in various applications such as satellite phones or global satellite positioning systems. The reason for its comparative lightness, according to the company, is due to the innovative use of plastics in the manufacturing process, as opposed to ceramics.

In tests calibrated to SGS chambers, the NovoSat achieved impressive results. At a frequency of 1.58 GHz, it had a gain (RHCP) of 2.97 dBic, a beamwidth of 97°, and an AR@phi=0 performance of 130%.

"Our new NovoSat product really does represent the next generation of L Band antenna, out-performing the competition when it comes to frequency, gain, form factor, efficiency, and even price," said Sampson Hu, CEO and founder of Novocomms. "We're very excited about the doors that this new product can open for electronic manufacturers working in the fields of automotive, mobile devices, AUVs, wearables, and also those innovating in the IoT space."

Novocomms, founded by Dr. Sampson Hu, a University of Birmingham alumnus, holds 100 global patent applications. With its global headquarters in the UK city, Novocomms is at the forefront of RF antenna design and manufacturing.
