AP.25E.07.0054A Taoglas

SPECIFICATION Part No. : AP.25E.07.0054A Product Name : 25mm One Stage GPS/GALILEO Active Patch Antenna Module with front-end Saw Filter Features : Industry leading GPS/GALILEO antenna performance 35mm*35mm*4.50mm (Ground Plane) 54mm 1.13 I-PEX MHFI (U.FL) 15dB LNA Wide Input Voltage 1.8V to 5.5V Low Power Consumption ROHS Compliant SPE-11-8-038/D/SS Page 1 of 10 1. Introduction The AP.25E has been designed specifically for embedded (inside device) integration with GPS/GALILEO receiver modules where there is a GSM transmitter nearby and risk of interference and saturation. The AP.25E combines a 25*25*2mm advanced low profile ceramic patch antenna with a one stage LNA and a front-end SAW filter with ultra thin coaxial cable. The Ground Plane size of 35*35mm combined with the larger size GPS/GALILEO Patch, gives this solution a performance increase in gain of 1 2dB. It also helps shields the patch antenna from noise and increases performance at low elevations. Taoglas active antenna modules utilise XtremeGain technology for the highest sensitivity in the industry. The AP.25E consists of 2 functional blocks the LNA and also the patch antenna. The AP.25E has a SAW filter on the front of it. The main use of the AP.25E would be for small devices where the GSM transmitter is close to the GPS/GALILEO antenna, it helps avoid burn-out of the LNA or the module due to interference from the GSM transmitter at out band frequencies.
