Overview
The patented VeraPhase® 6000 series offers performance that rivals any geodetic, reference, or choke ring antenna, and delivers full GNSS spectrum coverage. But that’s not all: the VeraPhase® 6000 series also includes L-Band corrections services, and is available in a lighter and smaller package than you’d expect. This economical design draws less power than other antennae.
Applications
The VeraPhase® 6000 series antenna is a versatile product, and is suitable for a variety of applications, including:
- RTK/PPP systems;
- Reference networks;
- Monitoring stations; and
- Other high-precision applications, such as survey and customs OEM products
Features
- Axial ratio: 2 dB max from horizon to horizon
- Very Tight Phase Center Variation (<1mm)
- Low current (35mA or 45mA)
- Space in housing for integrated L1/L2 receivers RTK or other OEM system.
Benefits
- Broadest tracking elevation (0° – 180°)
- Extreme precision
- Excellent multi-path rejection
- Great signal to noise ratio
- IP67, REACH, and RoHS compliant

The VeraPhase® 6000 provides consistent performance (gain, axial ratio, PCV, and PCO) across the antenna’s full bandwidth with the lowest axial ratios (horizon to horizon, over all azimuths) across all GNSS frequencies. It has exceptional front-to-back ratios, high efficiency, a tight PCV, and near-constant PCO for all azimuth and elevation angles, over all in-band frequencies.
The VP6000 provides high receive gain over the full GNSS spectrum: Low GNSS band (1164MHz to 1300MHz) L-band correction services (1525MHz to 1559MHz) and High GNSS band (1559MHz to 1610 MHz). Available with a number of robust, pre-filtered LNA variants, each with high IP3 to minimize de-sensing from high-level out-of-band signals, including 700MHz LTE, while still providing a noise figure of less than 2.5dB.
This antenna has been calibrated by both NGS (Relative Calibration) and by GEO++ (Absolute Calibration). The IGS antenna correction model is available at (antenna name is TWIVP6000):
