GNSS Vehicle Antenna

The Panorama L[G]M[Q]M4 low profile MiMo antenna range has been designed to support the next generation of vehicular LTE routers with 4x4 MiMo.

The antenna enclosure can provide up to nine antenna elements. All versions have four ultra-wideband elements for 698-3800MHz which support MiMo function for 4G/5G cellular bands. LG versions offer a GPS/GNSS antenna which has a 30dB gain LNA with high performance filtering for reliable operation. Variants are also available which include 2, 3 or 4 dual-band 2.4/4.9-6GHz WiFi elements for MiMo function designated by the suffix 24-58.

The antenna does not require a metallic ground plane and maintains a high level of performance even when mounted on a non-metallic surface. The GNSS antenna module carries E11 Mark type approval under ECE R10 and pigtail cables are certified to ECE R118.

The LTE elements are designed for 4x4 MiMo operation, however, it is possible to utilise these as 2 pairs of 2x2 MiMo for a router with dual radios used in a failover configuration (i.e. only one radio active at any time). As this configuration only uses 2 out of the 4 antennas for a single radio, the network coverage should be checked to ensure that this use is a suitable solution.

Guidance on the correct connection of the LTE antennas is provided in the installation instructions. Please Note: This antenna is not intended for use with dual radios that use concurrent 2x2 MiMo operation, as there is not sufficient isolation between the MiMo pairs.
