Wexford, Ireland www.taoglas.com 1.0 Introduction Designed for embedded (inside device) integration with GPS receiver modules, the AP.25B combines a 25*25*2mm advanced low profile ceramic patch antenna with a one stage LNA and ultra thin coaxial cable. The Ground Plane size of 35*35mm gives this solution a performance increase in gain of 12dB. It also helps shields the patch antenna from noise. Taoglas active antenna modules utilise XtremeGain™ technology for the highest sensitivity in the industry. The AP.25B has been optimized for telematics, asset tracking, navigation, and remote monitoring applications or simply any GPS device that requires high performance and needs quick, relaible and consistent lock. It has been designed to sit directly above the main board adhered to the underside of the plastic housing. The is a constant Voltage Regulator built into the LNA integrated circuit this allows any device using the AP.25B to benefit from Lower Power Consumption. 2.0 Specification Patch Antenna Frequency 1575.42 ± 1.023MHz 90°: 2.0 dBi Min.
