TRANSMITTERS

VHF

HABIT Research VHF transmitters are versatile!
Two-stage VHF transmitters are affected by even a few degrees temperature change, resulting in a significant change in transmitting frequency. This also ensures consistent transmission output, and battery power consumption.

Smart Beacon VHF transmitter options include:

  • Duty cycle: Hourly-daily-weekly-monthly ON-OFF programming
  • Mortality or activity/inactivity sensor: this alerts the researcher when the animal being tracked has not moved over a time interval (programmed at time of transmitter manufacturing).
  • Digital identification: transmits a digital ID over the VHF signal, ID is displayed on Osprey receiver LCD display
  • Multi-plane sensor: to determine the orientation of the transmitter, upright, on its side

Note that in any complete tag most of the volume and weight will be in the battery and potting materials. Proper selection of battery size and adequate, but not excessive, potting are very important.

Combine them with satellite transmitters, various sensors and data loggers to provide solutions for nearly any wildlife tracking and monitoring requirement. Transmitters can be configured into many different types of collars, implants, modules etc. With HABIT’s Osprey series receiver you can track up to 100 miles within line of sight! Tracking range is several miles dependent on many factors such as terrain and weather.

Standard output power (up to 35 milliWatts) provides an excellent long-range tracking capability. Transmission can be set to high power to accommodate study needs. The smallest transmitter model is 3 mm x 9 mm x 18 mm and weighs only 5 g (with minimal potting, antenna, battery or connector. We achieve this combination of high power and tiny size with an efficient, highly optimized design and the use of tiny surface mount and custom fabricated components. The signal output is very clean and highly stable in particular to accommodate the advanced data telemetry option available with these transmitters.
