Product Content

Product Overview

This active GPS ceramic patch antenna module combines a ceramic patch antenna and integrated low-noise amplifier on a compact PCB platform. Designed for embedded GPS reception, it provides a practical antenna solution for vehicle tracking, navigation terminals, telematics equipment and other GPS positioning devices.

The antenna operates across 1550–1590 MHz with specified center frequencies of 1561 MHz and 1575.00 MHz. Its integrated LNA provides ≥28 dB gain with a noise figure of ≤2.0 dB, helping deliver reliable RF signal reception for embedded GPS applications.

With 50 Ω characteristic impedance, DC 2.7–5 V operating voltage and low 7–12 mA current consumption, the module is suitable for integration into compact electronic systems where space and power consumption are important design considerations.
