Taoglas FXP612 Flexible Polymer Multi Band GPS/GNSS Antenna, 3dBi Peak Gain

Taoglas FXP612 Flexible Polymer Multi Band GPS L1, L2, L5 & GNSS Antenna 

The FXP612 embedded flexible antenna is a next generation GNSS antenna designed to cover working frequencies in the GPS L1/L2/L5/ Glonass / Galileo / BeiDou bands. It features the highest efficiencies in the market, not just an incredible efficiency of 90% in GPS/Galileo/Glonass/BeiDou L1 bands, but also 70% efficiency in the GPS L2 and L5 bands. The FXP612 is a linear polarized antenna, but with an omnidirectional radiation pattern which makes it less sensitive to device orientation. The VSWR is also extremely low, below 1.6 at all bands. This contributes to its total radiation efficiency, but also means it is ideal for low power consumption applications. 

Typical applications include: Telematics, Fleet Management, Healthcare, Transportation, Agriculture, Automotive, and Positioning. GNSS can also be for use cases that need to record the time stamp of the movement and ensure that the device is reporting time accurately. With this antenna, you could also report altitude as well as location and time and can include sensor data like barometric pressure for weather systems.

This antenna is made of durable, flexible, polymer with a cable and connector for easy installation. It is designed to be mounted directly to the inner shell of a plastic housing or glass enclosure/cover. No space is needed on the PCBs of your device, but at least 20 mm of minimum clearance is required from the ground-plane to achieve optimal antenna efficiency. The antenna is ultrathin and can be applied by a simple peel and stick process, attaching securely to non-metal surfaces via 3M adhesive. It has been tuned to work directly on ABS/PC plastic housings.

It is an ideal choice for any device maker that needs a solution that can work on L1 and L2 today, but also for years to come with the new L2 and L5 GPS civilian signal bands, and would like to keep costs down over the lifetime of a product.
