1. Introduction
This miniaturised GPS Active Antenna module combines a tiny 12mm squared ceramic
patch antenna from Cirocomm with a two stage low noise amplifier. It is available as
a ‘plug and play’ format for onboard integration with GPS receiver modules via ultra
thin coaxial cable and connector from IPEX.
Only 5.5mm in height, this new Taoglas active antenna module utilises XtremeGain™
technology for the highest industry sensitivity.
Designed for use with the new generation of GPS receiver modules using chipsets
from SiRF, Ublox, Nemerix, Fastrax, Navsync, Falcom, Telit, Tyco, Siemens etc.
The antenna system consists of two functional blocks, the LNA portion and the patch
antenna.
