Lucent GPSA-QBW-26NMSCL GPS Timing Antenna Satellite / RF Ground Equipment

The GPSA-QBW-26NMSCL is a 26dB gain GPS timing antenna and mounting kit, originally manufactured by Andrew/PCTEL (as the GPS-TMG-26N) and supplied under Lucent Technologies’ internal catalogue as part number KS24019L112C for use in telecommunications network timing applications. It receives GPS satellite signals in the L1 band at 1575.42MHz +/-10MHz and provides an integrated low-noise amplifier with 26dB gain (+/-3dB), a nominal impedance of 50 ohms, output VSWR of less than 2.0:1 and a maximum noise figure of 2.5dB. GPS timing antennas of this type are used to derive a precise frequency and time reference for synchronising telecom switching and base station equipment, a critical requirement for TDMA/CDMA mobile networks and SONET/SDH transmission systems. The kit includes mounting hardware for rooftop or mast installation, allowing the antenna to be sited with clear sky visibility while feeding a coaxial cable back to the equipment’s GPS receiver input. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks this GPS timing antenna for engineers maintaining Lucent/Alcatel-Lucent network synchronisation equipment. Get in touch to check stock and pricing.
