Wexford, Ireland www.taoglas.com 1.0 Introduction The AP.10C.01 one stage 15dB active GPS patch antenna is the smallest SMT GPS high performance embedded antenna currently available in the world. Using extremely sensitive high dielectric constant powder formulation and tight process control the 10mm x 10mm x 4mm patch antenna is accurately tuned to have its frequency band right at 1575.42MHz for GPS systems. A patented T Mounting Antenna structure gives high reliability in integration. With an ultra low power consumption one stage LNA , this small active patch has the performance of an ordinary active patch, but at only a quarter of the size. This product is suited to small form factor mobile devices such as GPS Smartphones, Personal Location, Medical devices, Telematic devices and Automotive navigation and tracking. Custom gain, connector and cable versions are available. 2.0 Specification Antenna Frequency 1575.42 ± 1.023MHz Gain Typ -3dBic @ Zenith Impedance 50Ω Polarization RHCP Axial Ratio Max 4.0dB @ Zenith Dimension 10mm x 10mm x 4mm (add 7.3mm depth for vertical PCB) Frequency 1575.42 ± 1.023MHz LNA Gain Noise Figure Output Impedance Output VSWR Min. 13dB, Typ. 15dB @ 25oC ± 5oC Typ. 1.4dB @ 25oC ± 5oC Max 1.8dB @ 85oC 50Ω Max. 2.0 Connection Connection SMT via solder pads © All Rights Reserved Taoglas Limited, Unit 7 Peare Campus, Moyne Business Park, Old Dublin Road, Enniscorthy, Co.
