Introduction

The AP.10H.01 two stage 25dB active GPS patch antenna is the smallest SMT GPS

high performance embedded antenna currently available in the world. Using

extremely sensitive high dielectric constant powder formulation and tight process

control the 10mm x 10mm x 4mm patch antenna is accurately tuned to have its

frequency band right at 1575.42MHz for GPS systems.

A patented SMT structure gives high reliability in integration. With an ultra low

power consumption two stage LNA with Saw Filter , this small active patch has the

performance of an ordinary active patch, but at only a quarter of the size. This

product is suited to small form factor mobile devices such as GPS Smartphones,

Personal Location, Medical devices, Telematic devices and Automotive navigation

and tracking. Custom gain, connector and cable versions are available.

The AP.10H consists of 2 functional blocks – the LNA and also the patch antenna.
