The Taoglas AP.25M is a one stage 25 mm active patch antenna that has been designed specifically for embedded integration with GPS/Galileo receiver modules. It combines a 25 x 25 x 2 mm 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. The antenna can work on a wide input voltage from 1.8V to 5.5V with best in class power consumption figures. This antenna system consists of two functional blocks, the LNA portion and the patch antenna.
