1. Introduction

The Taoglas GPS/GALILEO/Iridium® CGIP.25 ceramic patch antenna is a low profile

(4mm), small footprint (25*25mm), single feed antenna designed for combined

Iridium®/GPS/GALILEO applications. It has been specifically designed to provide

excellent performance in the 1575.42 to 1626.5MHz range.

This ceramic patch offers a typical peak gain of 5dBi for GPS/GALILEO and Iridium®.

These patches are mounted via pin and double-sided adhesive.

While the antenna is certified, some antenna detuning or device or layout issues* may

prevent a device from passing Iridium® certification. Taoglas offers performance

testing and verification, as well as a custom tuning service for the patch for a specific

customer device and ground-plane mounting. Taoglas can also pre-test the whole

device for Iridium® certification. Please Contact Us for any assistance required.

*Actual GPS/GALILEO/Iridium® system performance on a device is a function of the

overall system design of the device and environment where the device is used. Use of

even a tuned patch or any antenna on a compromised device design or application will

not guarantee good GPS/GALILEO/Iridium® performance.
