Overview

The GPSGB1330 is an active ceramic patch antenna module by Pulse Electronics designed for high-performance GNSS reception. It combines a 13x13mm ceramic element with an integrated 30dB high-gain low noise amplifier (LNA) to support GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo constellations. The module features high-rejection filtering to minimize out-of-band interference in dense RF environments.

Why Choose This Part

The integrated 30dB LNA allows for excellent sensitivity even when the antenna is buried within a device enclosure. With a wide operating voltage of 2.8V to 5.5V and low current consumption under 6mA, it is highly compatible with standard battery-powered embedded systems. The U.FL/I-PEX termination simplifies integration by eliminating the need for complex RF trace routing on the main PCB.

Applications

Asset Tracking
Small form factor and high gain make it ideal for tracking high-value assets in various environmental conditions.
Fleet Management
Provides reliable position data for vehicle telematics systems using multi-constellation support.
IoT Gateways
Integrates into industrial IoT nodes to provide precise timing and location metadata for sensor networks.

Getting Started

To integrate the GPSGB1330, connect the I-PEX MHF/U.FL connector to the RF input of your GNSS receiver module. Ensure the host system provides a DC voltage between 2.8V and 5.5V on the signal line to power the internal LNA. Proper ground plane sizing for the patch antenna is critical for achieving the specified 1dBic gain.
