Antenna Active Ceramic IPEX 1575MHz GPS Arial

Features

• Active Antenna Design: Unlike passive antennas, an active antenna includes a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) to boost the weak GPS signals. This results in improved sensitivity and better performance, especially in challenging environments or with longer cable runs.
• Ceramic Antenna Element: Utilizes a ceramic patch antenna, known for its small size, stable performance, and good efficiency in GPS frequency bands.
• Compact Size: With dimensions of just 20mm x 4mm x 6mm, this antenna is incredibly small, making it suitable for integration into miniature devices where space is a critical constraint.
• IPX/IPEX Interface: The common IPX/IPEX connector ensures easy and secure connection to a wide range of GPS modules, including the popular NEO-6M, which typically features a matching U.FL connector.
• Optimized Frequencies: Designed for the 1561 MHz (L5 band, though less common for consumer GPS) and 1575.42 MHz (L1 band, standard GPS frequency), ensuring compatibility with global positioning systems.
• Low Profile: The compact size and short 2.5cm cable length allow for discreet and integrated placement within your project enclosure.
