Iridium satellite communication

A compact RHCP antenna with documented integration data

GLYX002 is a compact RHCP patch antenna for Iridium satellite communication in the 1616-1626.5 MHz band. Its 3 dBic gain is specified at zenith, so that figure should be read with the stated direction rather than treated as uniform gain in every direction.

The ABS radome measures 45.2 x 35.8 x 15.1 mm, with a dimensional tolerance of ±0.5 mm. Magnet and adhesive mounting are listed, allowing the mounting arrangement to be considered alongside the available installation space. The specified environmental range is -40°C to +85°C, with IP67 ingress protection.

The datasheet includes a mechanical drawing, radiation plots in the XY, XZ and YZ planes, and measured SWR readings from an in-house test dated 2026-10-20. These measured readings describe that test; the product specification remains VSWR < 2.0. The 1.610 GHz test point is outside the specified operating band.

The specification table lists LMR100 or other cable and SMA or other connector options; the mechanical drawing labels the cable RG174 and the connector SMA. These are separate source statements. Specify the required cable and connector in the enquiry rather than assuming that the drawing defines every supplied configuration.

Values below are copied from the individual product records. Where a unit or value is not stated, consult the model datasheet before specifying the part.

Before ordering

  • Match every required operating band, rather than relying only on a product-family name.
  • Check connector gender, cable route, mounting space and the interface on your device.
  • Use the exact model datasheet to confirm the test conditions and installation limits.

Select a standard model or discuss a change

For a standard configuration, send the model number and expected quantity. For a change, include the required band, enclosure space, cable length and connector. Sample availability, minimum order quantity and delivery are confirmed with the quotation.

Purchasing questions

Which specifications should I confirm for this model?

Use the listed frequency, connector and mounting information together. Compare the values with your radio interface and available installation space; do not substitute parameters from a similar-looking model.

Can I change the cable or connector?

Describe the cable length, connector type and installation constraints in your enquiry. A change is subject to review for this exact model; the published configuration is the reference until a revised specification is confirmed.

What should I send for a sample or production quote?

Include the model, expected quantity, delivery destination and any drawing or interface requirement. Ask for confirmation of the sample configuration, lead time and production terms before placing an order.

Discuss your antenna requirements

Send the model, operating band and installation requirements. We will review the configuration and confirm pricing, samples and delivery for your project.
