VCS6000XF SmartChoke

The VCS6000 is a full GNSS spectrum antenna with an integrated “All-in-View” GNSS receiver designed for precise base-station applications.  The VCS6000XF combines two industry leading technologies into the GNSS industry’s first fullsize precision Smart Choke Ring antenna.    

Full Band GNSS Receiver + L-Band from Septentrio
The VCS6000XF offers simultaneous tracking of all visible satellite constellations and signal bands with convenient remote access IP connectivity.  

Key Advanced Technologes:    

• AIM+ industry-leading advanced anti-jamming, anti-spoofing interference monitoring & mitigation technology that can suppress the widest variety of interferers, from simple continuous narrowband signals to the most complex wideband and pulsed jammers.
• IONO+ advanced scintillation mitigation provides advanced protection against ionospheric disturbances.
• APME+ a posteriori multipath estimator for code and phase multipath  mitigation, unique in its ability to tackle short-delay multipath to enhance  measurement quality.
• LOCK+ superior tracking robustness under heavy mechanical shocks or vibrations helps guarantee robust tracking of rapid signal dynamics during scintillation events or earthquakes.
• RAIM+ receiver autonomous integrity monitoring

Calian VeraChoke Geodetic Antenna
The VCS6000XF integrates a High-Precision Full GNSS Sprectrum + L-Band Calian VeraChoke Antenna.    

Key Advanced Technologes:  

• Patented Antenna Element with LNA eXtended Filtering (XF) • Extremely low axial ratio from zenith to horizon, all azimuths, all GNSS bands
• Precise Phase Center Offset (PCO) and 0.5mm Phase Center Variation (PCV)
• 3D choke Ring mitigates multipath.
• Minimizes RTK network biases
• GEO++ calibration The VCS6000XF is compatible with Septentrio’s RxTools Software suite for monitoring and controlling the GNSS configuration of the SmartChoke.
