TM
Navigate globally with RUN mXTEND
TM
- Antenna Component: RUN mXTEND FR01-S4-224
- Dimensions: 12.0 mm x 3.0 mm x 2.4 mm
- Frequency regions: 1561 MHz, 1575 MHz, and 1598 MHz to 1606 MHz
With more than 80% of efficiency,
TM
the new RUN mXTEND chip
antenna component covers the
frequency ranges used for operating
at the global navigation systems:
GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou.
This new reference design illustrates
a full satellite navigation
performance, tested in two different
evaluation board sizes, that allows
location signal usability anywhere in
the world.
The miniature size (12.0mm x 3.0mm x 2.4 mm) and the high level of flexibility of the
standard component makes this solution one of the best options for any application to be
TM
developed where global navigation systems are involved. The RUN mXTEND provides
operation in three frequency regions: 1561 MHz (BeiDou E1 band), 1575 MHz (GPS L1 band)
and from 1598 MHz to 1606 MHz (GLONASS L1 band).
