Mobile Mark MAG-1575 GPS Magnet Mount Antenna, 1575.42 MHz

Mobile Mark MAG-1575 GPS Magnet Mount Antenna, Small Foot Print

The MAG-1575 GPS only antenna provides immediate set-up on the vehicle’s roof or trunk. The magnet mount style allows the antenna to be moved from from car-to-car, and its small size makes it easy to transport. The cable is routed to the GPS receiver, typically through a vehicle window.

The antenna provides durability and weatherproofing, using a sealed polycarbonate case. Although the antenna could be mounted on any surface, the antenna should ideally be placed on metal at least 5” (12.7 cm) wide. This will provide the maximum GPS operation. GPS performance is provided by a 26 dB low noise amplifier, with 5 dBi of antenna gain. Power required for the GPS amplifier is either 2.7 or 5 VDC. The power is supplied through the cable along with the GPS signal. Most GPS receivers will provide the needed power for the amplifier circuit without modifications.

The MAG-1575 antenna is rated IPx5 for water ingress protection. The standard cable supplied with the Magnet Mount antenna is 10 feet (3 m) of RG-174. Standard connector supplied is an SMA Plug (Male).
