Integrated GPS antenna as a glance (version 15x15 mm)

• Gen. Frequency: 1575 MHz ± 3 MHz**
• Bandwidth: 6 MHz -10 db Return loss

• Size: 15 x 15 x 4.5 (mm)

This integrated GPS antenna are designed to meet the requirements of high volume applications that need to avoid manual assembly processes.
These new integrated GPS antennas are unique in that they meet the environmental requirements of the automotive industry (temperature, shock, vibration etc). This is because of the new design which keeps the feed line of the integrated GPS antenna off the side of the ceramic and unexposed. It uses a separate PCB to connect to the GPS module feed line and mechanical pads for stable integration. Warning tuning likely required, because the GPS patch is very small. To save the tuning we recommend the version with 18x18 mm or 25x25 mm.
**Patent Pending**
Attention: Changes in user ground plane and environment will offset centre frequency
