Antenna
The SF-2040 all-in-one housing incorporates our
compact GPS antenna with excellent tracking
performance and a stable phase center for GPS L1
and L2. The integrated antenna tracks all GPS,
WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS/GAGAN and StarFire™
signals. This antenna is listed in the NGS NOAA GPS
Antenna Calibration tables, as NAVSF2040G. The
robust housing assembly features a standard 5/8”
BSW thread for mounting directly to a surveyor’s
pole, tripod, or mast and is certified to 70,000 feet
(see Specifications for restrictions).
Although rated to 70K feet, this antenna is not
designed for aircraft installations. Contact
for aircraft solutions.
Controller
The SF-2040 GPS sensor is designed for use with an
external controller solution connected via one of two
serial COM ports.
This may be accomplished using a PC, Tablet PC or
Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and a software
program which implements the rich control language
defined for NavCom GPS products. Refer to the
user’s guide of your controller solution for further
information. NavCom lists several application
software solutions on our website:
In addition, NavCom provides a Windows™ based
software utility, called StarUtil, with the receiver.
