TAOGLAS Right Hand Circular Polarisation GPS/Galileo Patch Antenna 17mm

The TAOGLAS AP.17E.07.0064A is a compact, 17mm single-stage active patch antenna module designed for GPS and Galileo satellite navigation systems. It integrates a low-profile ceramic patch antenna, a one-stage low-noise amplifier (LNA), and a front-end SAW filter into an advanced, space-saving design, making it ideal for embedded integration inside devices.

Engineered specifically for use with GPS/Galileo receiver modules, this antenna features its own integrated ground plane. A key benefit is the inclusion of a front-end SAW filter, which significantly reduces the risk of interference from nearby cellular transmitters. This protection helps prevent potential issues such as LNA burnout, saturation, or the generation of radiated spurious emissions, ensuring reliable receiver performance.

The module boasts a 15dB gain LNA and is supplied with an ultra-thin coaxial cable for easy connection. Its robust construction allows it to perform reliably across a wide operational temperature range, suitable for demanding environments. Typical applications include in-car navigation systems, asset tracking devices, and performance trackers or wearables where consistent, accurate signal reception is critical.
