AP.35A.07.0054A
Overview
The AP.35A.07.0054A is a 35mm square active ceramic patch antenna module designed for GPS and Galileo satellite navigation. It integrates a 15dB Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and a back-end SAW filter into a low-profile 3.5mm package to improve signal-to-noise ratios in noisy environments. The module simplifies RF design by providing a pre-tuned antenna solution with a standard I-PEX MHF1 (U.FL) connector interface.
Why Choose This Part
This module features Taoglas XtremeGain technology and a back-end SAW filter that protects the LNA from burnout caused by nearby cellular or Wi-Fi transmitters. It operates over a wide voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V with a very low current consumption of only 3mA, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Connect the antenna to your GPS receiver's RF input via a standard U.FL cable assembly, ensuring the patch faces the sky with a clear line of sight. The module requires a DC bias on the RF line (Phantom Power) between 1.8V and 5.5V to power the integrated LNA. For optimal performance, mount the ceramic patch on a ground plane as specified in the mechanical layout guidelines.
