The ceramic active GPS antenna has been designed for embedded integration with GPS receiver modules. It combines a 35x35x3.5 mm advanced low profile ceramic patch antenna with a one stage LNA and ultra thin coaxial cable. The Ground Plane size of 35x35 mm 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.
