This low profile ceramic chip antenna from Molex is designed for GPS applications where the antenna needs to be mounted directly on a PCB.
It operates across 1.561GHz to 1.602GHz, with a 1.575GHz centre frequency, making it suitable for compact positioning and navigation designs.
The antenna uses solder termination and a surface mount form factor, so it can be integrated into custom PCB layouts without a separate cabled antenna assembly.
Specifications:
- Frequency Group: UHF (1GHz ~ 2GHz)
- Frequency (Center/Band): 1.575GHz
- Frequency Range: 1.561GHz ~ 1.602GHz
- Antenna Type: Chip
- Number of Bands: 1
- Return Loss: -10dB
- Gain: 2dBi
- Power - Max: 2W
- Termination: Solder
- Mounting Type: Surface Mount
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.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
