Antenna GPS Embedded SMA

This embedded GPS antenna with built-in LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) is designed for small, mobile applications. Its compact, unpackaged form factor makes it ideal for creating truly small GPS prototypes. Comes with a 5-inch cable terminated with a standard male SMA connector.

Works well out of the box, though the unpackaged design means the cable-to-antenna junction has minimal strain relief. For vibration-intensive applications, reinforce the SMA cable connection with epoxy or a flexible adhesive.
