The antenna is designed to be ground-plane independent.
The loss budget for the Iridium Certus link allows a maximum of 1 dB of cable losses between
the Quicksilver terminal and the SAF9700 antenna. Table 6 below provides maximum cable
lengths for common LMR cable sizes meeting the certification constraints.

SAF9701 (T
The SAF9701 is a high-performance, omnidirectional antenna designed for Iridium
SFX/RUDICS/SBD services. It provides exceptional pattern control, polarization purity, and high
efficiency in a very rugged and compact form factor. The omnidirectional antenna pattern
allows this antenna to be easily installed in any location. This antenna is designed to work with
