Datasheet ANT-GNCP-TH258L15 L1/L5 Ceramic Patch GNSS Antenna The ANT-GNCP-TH258L15 is a stacked ceramic patch antenna for GPS/GLONASS/ GALILEO/ BeiDou, IRNSS, QZSS global navigation satellite system (GNSS) operation in the L1 and L5 frequency bands. The ANT-GNCP-TH258L15 provides excellent gain and radiation pattern performance supporting solutions with high location accuracy, rapid satellite signal reception and lock, and quick time to first fix. The ANT-GNCP-TH258L15 offers an extended temperature range to +105 C for compliance to automotive standard AEC-Q200 Grade 2. The antenna is mounted via attached adhesive patch and has a solder pin signal connection.
