This compact GPS puck antenna is designed for surface mounting directly to a PCB, making it a neat option for embedded GPS designs where space is limited.

The antenna measures 16mm in diameter and 6.05mm high, with a GPS frequency range of 1565MHz ~ 1585MHz. It uses RHCP polarisation and a 50 Ohms unbalanced feed point impedance.

Supplier documentation includes a datasheet and mechanical drawing for layout and integration reference.

Specifications:

Frequency Range: 1565MHz ~ 1585MHz
Peak Gain: 0dBi
VSWR: < 3.0:1
Polarization: RHCP (right-hand circular)
Power Handling: 10 Watt cw
Feed Point Impedance: 50 Ohms unbalanced
Diameter: 16mm
Height: 6.05mm

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

GPS: The US satellite navigation system used by GNSS receivers to calculate position and time. Support for GPS is important because it is widely available and often used together with other constellations for more reliable positioning.
Impedance: Impedance is the total opposition a component or circuit presents to alternating current, measured in ohms, combining resistance with frequency-dependent reactance. It appears in many contexts, such as matching a speaker's impedance (for example 4 ohm or 8 ohm) to an amplifier or the input and output impedance of signal circuits, and a correct match helps avoid weak signals, distortion or damage.
PCB: A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
