The Taoglas AP.17E is a one stage active patch antenna Module with Front End SAW Filter that has been designed specifically for embedded integration with GPS/Galileo receiver modules.The AP.17E combines a 17 x 17 x 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 its 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.
Typical Applications Include: Navigation Systems, Asset Tracking, and Performance Trackers/Wearables.
The antenna can work on a wide input voltage from 1.8V to 5.5V with best in class power consumption figures.
