GPS0010
Overview
The GPS0010 is an active GPS dome antenna designed for high-performance navigation in the 1575.4 MHz L1 band. This compact, adhesive-mounted antenna features an integrated Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) to compensate for cable losses and improve signal acquisition in challenging environments. It is housed in a low-profile black dome package that is only 0.500 inches tall, making it suitable for discreet installations.
Why Choose This Part
The GPS0010 offers a gain of 5dBic and a VSWR of 2, ensuring efficient signal reception even in urban canyons. Its integrated active LNA operates at a 5V VDD, providing the necessary signal boost for long cable runs to the receiver. The small footprint and adhesive mounting simplify mechanical integration without requiring drilling or complex mounting hardware.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To use this antenna, connect the SMA male termination to a GPS receiver capable of providing a 5V DC bias on the center conductor to power the internal LNA. Ensure the antenna is mounted with a clear view of the sky, typically on a non-metallic surface using the pre-applied adhesive. Verification of signal strength (C/No) can be performed using standard NMEA output tools from the connected GPS module.
