AP.25E.07.0054A

SPECIFICATION Part No. : Product Name : AP.25E.07.0054A 25mm One Stage GPS/GALILEO Active Patch Antenna Module with front-end Saw Filter Features : Industry leading GPS/GALILEO antenna performance 35mm*35mm*4.50mm (Ground Plane) 54mm Ø1.13 I-PEX MHFI (U.FL) 15dB LNA Wide Input Voltage 1.8V to 5.5V Low Power Consumption ROHS Compliant SPE-11-8-038/D/SS Page 1 of 10 1. Introduction The AP.25E has been designed specifically for embedded (inside device) integration with GPS/GALILEO receiver modules where there is a GSM transmitter nearby and risk of interference and saturation. The AP.25E combines a 25*25*2mm advanced low profile ceramic patch antenna with a one stage LNA and a front-end SAW filter with ultra thin coaxial cable. The Ground Plane size of 35*35mm combined with the larger size GPS/GALILEO Patch, gives this solution a performance increase in gain of 12dB. It also helps shields the patch antenna from noise and increases performance at low elevations. Taoglas active antenna modules utilise XtremeGain™ technology for the highest sensitivity in the industry. The AP.25E consists of 2 functional blocks – the LNA and also the patch antenna. The AP.25E has a SAW filter on the front of it. The main use of the AP.25E would be for small devices where the GSM transmitter is close to the GPS/GALILEO antenna, it helps avoid burn-out of the LNA or the module due to interference from the GSM transmitter at out band frequencies.
