AP.12F.07.0045A Taoglas

SPECIFICATION Part No. : AP.12F.07.0045A Product Name : 12mm Two Stage 25dB GPS/GALILEO Active Patch Antenna Module with front-end Saw Filter Features : 13.4*13.4*6mm (Ground Plane) 45mm 1.13 cable IPEX MHFI (U.FL) 28dB LNA Wide Input Voltage 1.8V to 5.5V Low Power Consumption RoHS compliant SPE-11-8-094/D/SS Page 1 of 8 1. Introduction The AP.12F has been designed specifically for embedded (inside device) integration with GPS/GALILEO receiver modules where there is a GSM transmitter nearby and risk of interference and saturation. The AP.12F combines a 12*12*3.5mm advanced low profile ceramic patch antenna with a two stage LNA and a front-end SAW filter with ultra thin coaxial cable. Only 5.6mm in height, this Taoglas active antenna module utilises XtremeGain technology for the highest industry sensitivity. The AP.12F consists of 2 functional blocks the LNA and also the patch antenna. The AP.12F has a SAW filter on the front of it. The main use of the AP.12F would be for small devices where the GSM transmitter is close to the GPS/GALILEO antenna, it helps avoid burn-out of the LNA or the module due to interference from the GSM transmitter at out band frequencies.
