Key Features

Integrated Design and Compact Form Factor

The compact smart antenna weighs ≤80g and measures Φ90* H24.4mm, featuring stable structure, good consistency, and reliable electrical performance. Additionally, the antenna and module are well compatible with each other, simplifying the development process and reducing costs for engineers.
Precision-Tuned OEM GNSS Antenna

The main part of HX-ME401A is Harxon’s small size and high performance OEM GNSS antenna designed for high precision positioning. The antenna provides a very stable phase center variation with advanced multipoint feeding technology, exceptional low elevation satellite tracking with symmetric radiation patterns.
High Performance RTK Positioning Module

HX-ME401A is integrated with full-constellation full-frequency RTK positioning module UM960, which integrates RF, baseband and high precision algorithm. It can simultaneously track multiple frequencies of all GNSS systems, enabling the module to output high-precision RTK positioning.
Strong Anti-Interference Performance

HX-ME401A is capable of offering superior positioning performance in challenging environments. The antenna equips a robust pre-filtered LNA that features an excellent out-of-band interference rejection performance, and the module features 60 dB narrowband anti-jamming.
