Mobile Antenna Catalog Summer 2013

65 Years Experience Panorama Antennas, a family business now in its third generation, is a leading designer and manufacturer of antennas for radio communication. Established in London, UK in 1947, Panorama started life as a company manufacturing consumer products. In 1952, buoyed by huge demand for TVs in the UK, Panorama began manufacturing components for televisions, including antennas. With transistor radios being a trend of the 1960s, Panorama used its expert knowledge in television antennas and began to manufacture communication antennas for radio. Throughout the 70s and 80s Panorama evolved to become the first specialised communication antenna manufacturer in the UK, developing a range of cellular antennas to coincide with the launch of the mobile phone network in Britain. In 1990, Panorama filed a patent application for the first ever solid state coupling circuit, revolutionising cellular glass mount antenna technology and created a new benchmark for quality in the production of components. As the cellular telecommunications industry has grown worldwide, so has Panorama. Today, Panorama is a major producer of antennas for telecommunications and electronics companies around the world. It employs over 50 people and has seven overseas sales offices.

Termination The Panorama DPD-GPS allows you to run two GPS receivers from only a single antenna. The DPD-GPS splits the received signal from the antenna to two receivers while only allowing one of the receivers to feed voltage to the antenna ensuring that the antenna is able to function correctly. The DPD-GPS is perfect for ensuring that multiple compatible GPS receivers can be used in the same vehicle with the minimum number of antennas thereby reducing clutter and installation costs.

The best cable on the market?

They look the same, they feel the same so they should work the same. This sort of assumption can be dangerous when it comes to selecting cable, as the coaxial cable from the antenna to the radio can make all the difference when it comes to an efficient system. The Panorama Antennas low loss cable is designed to the highest specification with the radio installer in mind. The inner conductor consists 7 copper strands resulting in an easy vehicle installation due to its flexibility and a lower risk of fracturing or breaking in cold weather like some solid core alternatives. With the addition of a high performance polythene dielectric this ensures low attenuation and consistent impedance characteristics and the outer copper braid ensures a 93% coverage thanks to its 16 / 6 cross linked construction. A flame retardant, zero halogen outer jacket provided as standard, Panoramas cable conforms to IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-1/2 & IEC 1034 vehicle safety standards whilst being UV light stabilised and RoHS compliant making it the highest standard entry level cable in the market.

Design, Testing & Facilities

Panorama Antennas is renowned for its ability to design antennas specifically to the customers needs. This could involve modifying an existing product to give it a new frequency, cable length, connector configuration or might require a brand new design.

Custom Design To Your Specification

Panorama Antennas has a long history of designing antennas to specifically meet customers requirements. We closely consult with the customer throughout the design and manufacturing process. The antenna will be tested so that it works perfectly in the environment that it is designed for.

Tuned To Your Frequency

Panorama can tune most UHF & VHF antennas to a specific band. If you don’t see the exact frequency you require in our product catalogue, you just need to ask us if it can be done specifically for you.

Don’t Forget The Cable

While many people may not realise it, an antenna is only as good as the RF cable attached to it. Panorama can provide many different types of cable to suit your requirement. But it doesn’t stop there. We can provide you with cable to the exact length you require, fitted with the connector of your choice so you do not have to waste any time fitting our products.

Panorama’s testing and measurement facilities represent the cutting edge of antenna design capability. Our communication antenna designs are validated before manufacture using accurate and repeatable tests and measurements. This specialist design and development process builds quality and reliability into all Panorama’s products. The key components of our measurement system are:

The Anechoic Chamber

This creates a 1.2m spherical ‘quiet zone’ in which the performance characteristics of antenna assemblies can be measured at frequencies up to 6GHz, free from physical or electrical conditions that would otherwise interfere with the measurements.

Network Analysers

Network Analysers measure performance using a wide range of parameters including impedance, relative field strength and insertion loss. Results can be displayed in various formats including Smith Chart, VSWR and return loss.

Turntable & Positioning Controller

This enables the assessment of the directivity of an antenna in both the ‘E’ and ‘H’ planes. This special equipment is constructed to rotate through 360 degrees (in 1 degree increments), with minimal RF reflection or interference.

Antenna Measurement Software

This enables computer control of the Network Analyser and Positioning Controller/Turntable. Data obtained from controlled measurements is automatically displayed on a monitor as VSWR and polar radiation patterns which can be printed or shared on Panorama’s computer network.

Vehicle Ground Plane Simulation

This can be used in the centre of the anechoic chamber to simulate, as closely as possible, a typical modern car roof and windscreen (front and rear).

GPS Satellite Recognition

GPS Antennas rely on continuous communication with the GPS satellites. The GPS Satellite Recognition software enables Panorama to identify each satellite that is being picked up by the GPS antenna. This helps our developers to see how our antennas perform in the real environment.

Accelerated Life Testing

Panoramas two environmental test chambers can rapidly fluctuate between temperatures of -60°F and +175°F, simulate ground vibrations and salt spray to replicate and test the changing environmental conditions in the most harsh, extreme cases.

CST Microwave Studio

State of the art simulation software for measuring and modelling antenna performance. This software assists Panorama in the design and optimization of sophisticated antenna systems for MiMo and Inbuilding applications.
