The AP.17E is a one stage 17mm active patch antenna that has been designed specifically for embedded (inside device) integration with GPS receiver modules. The AP.17E combines a 17*17*4mm advanced low profile ceramic patch antenna with a one stage LNA and a front-end SAW filter with ultra thin coaxial cable. It comes with it’s own integrated ground-plane. The front end SAW filter reduces the risks where there is a cellular transmitter nearby of interference from out of band frequencies which can cause LNA burn-out, saturation, or radiated spurious emissions. The antenna can work on a wide input voltage from 1.8V to 5.5V with best in class power consumption figures. If further tuning and optimization specific to a customer device is required Taoglas offers a custom tuned and optimized part service. Contact sales@taoglas.com for more information. Cables and connectors can be customized according to request.
