60 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 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 the 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.

Training
Training sessions can help organisations get mobile antenna installations right the first time. Helping companies to reduce the costs they might incur replacing poorly installed units.
Ineffective antennas can cause system drop out, noise and lost calls. Without test facilities it is difficult for the user to know if a problem is due to poor installation, a network fault, or if the antenna itself is to blame. The mobile antenna is a vital component which affects the quality of the whole cellular communication system. Since a vehicle travels between cell sites it relies on its mobile antenna works to link up with the closest cell site base station. Our training explains why efficient electrical design and effective installation are essential to make the most of the available cell site coverage.
Introduction to mobile antennas is essential training for anyone working with, or supplying, mobile communications equipment. This training session aims to increase customer satisfaction by improving the way that mobile antennas are selected and installed. Individuals who could benefit most by attending include buyers, installers, distributors and retailers of mobile communications equipment.
After the training session you should be able to: Understand basic antenna theory. Know how to select the best antenna for the job. Define antenna performance. Understand the correct installation and test processes.
If you would like to come to one of our open training sessions or would prefer us to provide a bespoke training session for your team, please do not hesitate to contact us.

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.
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.
Panorama can tune most UHF & VHF antennas to a specific band. If you dont see the exact frequency you require in our product catalogue, you just need to ask us if it can be done specifically for you.
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 doesnt 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.

Panoramas 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 Panoramas products. The key components of our measurement system are:
This creates a 1.2m spherical quiet zone in which the performance characteristics of antenna assemblies can be measured at frequencies up to 35GHz, free from physical or electrical conditions that would otherwise interfere with the measurements.
Network Analysers
Network Analysers measure efficiency using a wide range of parameters including antenna impedance, relative field strength and insertion loss. Results can be displayed in various formats including Smith Chart, VSWR and return loss.
The turntable 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.
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 Panoramas computer network (PITS).
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 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.
Panorama uses leading RF modelling software to design, validate & measure antenna forms.

For panel mounting, the AUGHB,ACUB & ACUHB ranges all provide a high gain alternative for where coverage is marginal. With a sleek and durable profile these antennas are easy to install & remove for carwashes. The AUGHB is a hinged 5/8 wave antenna with a flexible 17-7PH stainless steel element & represents a standard gain solution. The ACUB & ACUHB range are colinear in construction and offer more gain at the cost of additional length and narrower aperture.

A truly innovative product this antenna operates on 4m (74-88MHz), 2m (165-174MHz) and Tetra band (380-400MHz). The antenna is resonant on each band and does not require a matching unit. Used with Panoramas high efficiency triplexer unit, this enables a 4m, 2m and Tetra radio to effectively operate on one antenna, which is ideal for TETRA migration scenarios & minimizing the number of antenna installations.

A Panorama Glass Mount Antenna requires no holes or special tools and can be quickly & easily installed on a windscreen or rear window. The antenna couples capacitively through the glass and its high positioning gives it an almost omni-directional radiating pattern, with performance similar to a conventionally mounted roof-top antenna. The antenna can be easily removed for the car wash. To remove the antenna assembly, both the coupling box and the mounting foot can be removed and the glass cleaned to leave it in its original state.

The heavy duty GPSB antenna series combines four different antennas in a sleek mounting. Only a single hole is required to mount the antenna, making this a far quicker and easier solution than using four different antennas. The versatility of the antenna makes it ideal for logistics and asset tracking. The external UHF or VHF whip can be used as a simple two-way radio link with a hub, the 3G UMTS antenna or GPRS antenna can be used for data feeds and mobile phone calls, the GPS antenna can be used for navigation and vehicle tracking, whilst the WLAN antennas can download data back at the depot. Four complicated functions in just one rugged antenna.

The TRNB antenna series is designed specifically for use on trains, underground or overground. With an omnidirectional gain of over 2dBi the TRNB series covers the TETRA UHF band (model: TRNB(G)-TET) or TETRA 800/multifrequency/cellular (model:TRNB(G)-7-27) along with the option of a DC grounded GPS antenna, all in one housing. Housed in a UV stabilised, low flame, smoke and toxicity (FST) housing, the TRNB series is fully weatherproof equivalent to IP68 ensuring the antennas performance is never compromised even when subjected to industrial carriage wash systems. With less than 100g of flame retardant plastic, the TRNB series can also be used on underground trains. The TRNB antennas have also been tested to meet various European industry traction standards.
