It has a dual feed, Introduction active patch design which makes it ideal for next-generation GNSS devices that require excellent positional accuracy in a small factor. The active patch antenna, by means of a double resonance design, has a wide- 1. band operation over GNSS systems including GPS (L1), GLONASS (G1), Galileo (E1) and BeiDou(B1). The 25 Introduction mm patch uses a dual-feed configuration that combines both feeds with a 90° hybrid coupler to obtain an optimal axial ratio. 1. The ADFGP.25E includes an LNA and front-end SAW filter to reduce out of band noise, such as from nearby Introduction cellular transceivers. It offers better protection from nearby radiated power surges and greatly reduces the probability of damaging your GNSS receiver from nearby transmissions. The ADFGP.25E is manufactured and 1. tested in a TS16949 first tier automotive approved facility. Introduction The antenna is supplied with Ø 1.13 cable and an IPEX MHFI (U.FL compatible) connector. The patch, the PCB (ground plane), the LNA, and front-end SAW components are all integrated into a form factor of just 25.1 x 25.1 x 7.5 mm. It connects via a 60mm Ø 1.13 coaxial cable and IPEX MHFI connector. Features: • Compact Dual Feed Patch Antenna • Excellent signal to noise ratio (C/N0) • Good 2DRMS and fast TTFF • Axial ratio < 5dB typ. across all bands SPE-20-8-069-B www.taoglas.com 3 Benefits: • Excellent positional accuracy • Great for use in difficult environments • Excellent out-of-band signal rejection • Ideal antenna solution for RTK systems. 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 This antenna has been tuned for Free space, we also provide a version of this with a 70*70mm ground plane: ADFGP.25A.07.0060A. Custom antenna modifications are subject to possible NRE and minimum order quantity.
