Antenna Selection Guide

Finding the right antenna for your application should be easy. Tallysman’s simple, three-step antenna selection guide allows you to quickly specify the fundamental antenna requirements for your situation to quickly narrow down your antenna options.

Step 1

Coverage and L-Band

Step 2

Mount

Step 3

Amplifier Gain

Step 1

Choose frequency coverage and L-band

The first step to choosing the right antenna is defining which signal frequency bands from which satellite constellations your receiver requires. Tallysman’s broad antenna selection supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS and NAVIC GNSS constellations, Iridium Satellite Communications, and L-Band connection services.

Please select one of the following frequency options:
