GPS patch antenna

The AP-10D-01 active GPS patch antenna is claimed to be the smallest SMT GPS high-performance embedded antenna available.

Using sensitive high dielectric constant powder formulation and tight process control, the 10 x 10 x 4 mm patch device is accurately tuned to a frequency band right at 1575.42 MHz for GPS systems.

An SMT structure gives high reliability in integration. With a low power consumption two-stage LNA, the antenna has the performance of an orindary active patch, but at only a quarter of the size.

It is suitable for small form factor mobile devices such as GPS smartphones, personal location, medical devices, telematic devices and motor vehicle navigation and tracking. Custom gain, connector and cable versions are available.
