Introduction The ADFGP.50A, with Taoglas Sure Technology, is a precision-engineered active dual patch, dual-feed antenna for GPS (L1/L2/L5), GLONASS (G1/G2/G5), Galileo (E1/E5a/E5b) and BeiDou (B1/B2). The antenna comes mounted on a 50*50 mm PCB (ground plane). It consists of two stacked patches, 50mm, and 40mm 1. Introduction in width and is 16.8mm thick. It has been tuned and tested on a 50*50mm ground plane specifically for GPS L1: 1575.42MHz, L2: 1227.6MHz and L5: 1176.45MHz as well as the GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and IRNSS bands shown in Section 2. 1. Introduction Each patch element uses two orthogonal feeds that are combined in a hybrid coupler to ensure optimal axial ratio. The antenna exhibits excellent gain and good radiation pattern stability leading to a reliable GNSS fix in areas of weaker signal strength. All these elements combined ensure the best possible positional accuracy 1. for your device. Introduction Both patch elements have a dual pin feed to ensure a low axial ratio and should be used in conjunction with a hybrid coupler. The ADFGP.50A includes LNAs and front-end SAW filters to reduce out of band noise, such as from nearby cellular transceivers. It offers better protection from nearby radiated power surges and greatly reduces the probability of damaging your GNSS receiver from nearby transmissions. Features: • Multi-GNSS, high-performance antenna • Excellent signal to noise ratio (C/N0) • Good 2DRMS and fast TTFF • Axial ratio < 2dB typ. across all bands • Phase stability provides excellent Phase Center Variation (PCV) SPE-19-8-133-F www.taoglas.com 3 Benefits: • Excellent positional accuracy • Great for use in difficult environments • Multiband improves the receiver’s position estimation in terms of accuracy and reliability • Ideal antenna solution for multiband RTK systems. The ADFGP.50A is connected via an IPEX MHFI connector and works well without modifications in most environments, however, it can be tuned and optimized for different ground planes and enclosures if required. It is manufactured and tested in a TS16949 first tier automotive approved facility. Typical applications include: • High accuracy positioning and navigation systems • UAVs, Robotics & Autonomous Vehicles • Micro-Mobility Solutions • Mapping & GIS • Transportation & Telematics • Precision Agriculture • Public Safety, Search & Rescue • RTK Systems Custom antenna modifications are subject to possible NRE and minimum order quantity. For further information or support to test and integrate Taoglas Sure technology please contact your regional Taoglas customer support team. We recommend installing this antenna with an adhesive foam backing as shown in section 9, to configure this product with adhesive foam please contact your regional Taoglas customer support team.
