1. Introduction

The AP.10G.01 one stage 14dB active GPS/GALILEO patch antenna is the smallest SMT

GPS/GALILEO high performance embedded antenna currently available in the world.

Using extremely sensitive high dielectric constant powder formulation and tight process

control the 10mm x 10mm x 4mm patch antenna is accurately tuned to have its frequency

band right at 1575.42MHz for GPS/GALILEO systems.

A patented SMT structure gives high reliability in integration. With an ultra low power

consumption one stage LNA with Saw Filter, this small active patch has the performance

of an ordinary active patch, but at only a quarter of the size. This product is suited to small

form factor mobile devices such as GPS Smartphones, Personal Location, Medical devices,

Telematic devices and Automotive navigation and tracking. Custom gain, connector and

cable versions are available.

The AP.10G consists of 2 functional blocks – the LNA and also the patch antenna.
