AP.35A.07.0054A

SPECIFICATION Part No. : Product Name : AP.35A.07.0054A 35mm One Stage GPS/GALILEO Active Patch Antenna Module with back-end Saw Filter Features : 35*35*3.5mm (Ground Plane) 54mm Ø1.13 I-PEX MHFI (U.FL) 15dB LNA RoHS Compliant SPE-12-8-023/D/SS Page 1 of 11 1. Introduction The AP.35A has been designed for embedded (inside device) integration with GPS receiver modules, the AP.35A combines a 35*35*3.5mm advanced low profile ceramic patch antenna with a one stage LNA and ultra thin coaxial cable. The Ground Plane size of 35*35mm combined with the larger size GPS 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. This antenna system consists of two functional blocks, the LNA portion and the patch antenna. The AP.35A has a back-end SAW filter. SPE-12-8-023/D/SS Page 2 of 11 2. Specification 2.1.
