<strong>GCA</strong>-<strong>11</strong><strong>Airborne</strong> <strong>Directional</strong> <strong>Antenna</strong>Page 1This lightweight microwave transmit antenna isfully automatic, requires no operator interventionduring normal operation, has no moving parts forlow maintenance costs, and incorporates a solidstate switchable antenna array.The pod is self-contained with integral electronicsemploying a high performance embeddedprocessor which handles all control, supervision,and high speed streaming communicationprotocols, together with a solid state compass , 12channel GPS receiver and modular I/O system.Applications:► Aerial and Ground ENG (ElectronicNews Gathering)► Military► Law Enforcement► SurveillanceKey Features► No Moving Parts- Totally Solid State► Small and Light Weight Pod► Integral Processor, Compass, & GPSReceiver► Low Maintenance Costs► Electronic High Speed <strong>Directional</strong>Tracking► Ground Data Output for ReceiveTracking► <strong>Directional</strong>, Manual, & Omni Operation► Models Available from 1.7-6.525 GHzEight antenna elements are arranged to overlappatterns to provide 360° of azimuth coverage. Atleast one element is always selected, ensuringcontinuous signal transmission. High speedswitching circuitry is used to select the appropriatesectors of eight narrow beam antenna elements.The directional antenna helps reduce signalmultipath evident with the omni transmit antennas.The cockpit terminal has a user-friendly operatorinterface for change of target and operatingmode adjustments as needed. The genericrugged design has been extensively field provenin arduous conditions worldwide, and offers manybenefits over traditional mechanically steeredunits.The BMS <strong>GCA</strong>-<strong>11</strong> can be used in both aircraftand ground based digital or analog applicationsutilizing up to a 12 Watt power amplifier.All Data Subject to Change Without Notice<strong>Broadcast</strong> <strong>Microwave</strong> <strong>Services</strong>, Inc.12367 Crosthwaite Circle - Poway, California 92064 - U.S.A.Tel: +1-858-391-3050, Toll Free (U.S.): 800-669-9667Fax: +1-858-391-3049, Website: www.bms-inc.comE-mail: sales@bms-inc.com
