Solid State introduces GPS active antennas
A Solid State Supplies product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Nov 11, 2009
Solid State Supplies announces the availability of the W4000 series of GPS active antennas from Pulse.
These oval-shaped antennas have a profile of 5.45mm.
Designed for in-vehicle mounting, each antenna can be positioned on the dashboard or window without concerns about orientation.
Pulse GPS antennas combine a Pulse ceramic chip antenna with a low-noise amplifier (LNA) resulting in an antenna profile that's more than 50 per cent thinner than standard GPS antennas while still maintaining a high level of performance, according to the company.
These antennas receive, amplify and filter GPS signals for telematics applications such as in-car infotainment, navigation and location, intelligent vehicle safety, fleet management and tracking, asset monitoring, risk management and pay-as-you-drive insurance applications.
The W4000 GPS antennas are 5.45mm high and 50mm x 30mm at the widest point of the oval.
They operate at 1,575.42MHz and 3V to 5V, with a maximum gain of 1.5dB isotropic and 28dB with an LNA of 1dB noise figure.
The antennas are supplied with 5m of RG-174 cable and come in four models with a variety of connectors: the W4000L197 has an FME male straight connector; the W4000J197 has an MCX male straight connector; the W4000G197 has an SMA male straight connector; and the W4000D197 has an MMCX male straight connector.
The antennas are individually packaged with double-sided tape for easy installation.
The antenna can be installed with either side facing up.
As a result, only one antenna is required for glass or dashboard mount, making installation simple.
