Overview

The 1513634-1 is a compact, surface-mount GPS puck antenna designed for integration into mobile and handheld devices. It operates within the 1.565GHz to 1.585GHz frequency range, providing dedicated reception for the GPS L1 band. This antenna features a low-profile 6.05mm height and is intended for automated SMT assembly processes.

Why Choose This Part

This antenna offers a simple Solder Surface Mount termination that eliminates the need for RF connectors or manual cable assembly. Its 10W maximum power rating and wide operating temperature range from -40C to 85C make it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Applications

Handheld GPS Receivers
Ideal for portable navigation devices where a small footprint and low profile are required for slim enclosures.
Vehicle Tracking Systems
Suitable for fleet management and asset tracking modules that utilize surface-mount components for cost-effective manufacturing.
Industrial IoT Sensors
Used in remote monitoring stations that require location timestamping via GPS in a rugged, solder-down form factor.
