Kyocera-AVX-1002428

PRODUCT: GPS/GNSS

 

PATCH ANTENNA  

Part No. 1002428  

Embedded GPS Ceramic Patch Antenna  

GPS/GNSS, 25x25x4 mm  

KEY BENEFITS  

Ethertronics’ series of GPS Ceramic Patch Antennas  

deliver on the key needs of device designers for  

higher functionality and performance in M2M designs.  

These innovative antennas provide compelling  

advantages for GPS enabled M2M applications such as  

vehicle tracking.  

END USER ADVANTAGES  

Superior Range  

Greater antenna efficiency means longer range and

 

a  

better end user experience.  



Exceptional Coverage  



Better coverage results in improved performance in  

line of sight conditions as well as while inside cars or  

other areas where

 

signal reflection occurs.  

DESIGN ADVANTAGES  

Best in Class Performance  



Circularly polarized patch antennas are designed  

to maintain high efficiency in a variety of device  

configurations.  

Minimal ground clearance and component “keep  

out” area.  

Faster Acquisition Times  



Users experience faster signal acquisition for GPS  

readings.  





High selectivity eliminates the need for addition-  

al filters and frees up board space.  

SERVICE AND SUPPORT  

Quicker Time-to-Market  







Standard part means fewer design changes.  

Simple implementation.  

Single part works for various PCB sizes and lay-  

outs.  

Extensive RF Experience  



Our ceramic patch antennas are supported by exten-  

sive documentation, and when needed, by the exper-  

tise of RF engineers who have integrated hundreds of  

antenna designs into wireless devices.  

RoHS Compliant  



Ethertronics’ antennas comply with the European  

RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.  

Global Operations & Design Support  



Ethertronics’ global operations encompass an  

integrated network of design centers that provide  

local customer support.  

Automotive Application  



Ethertronics’ antennas are manufactured accord-  

ing to ISO TS 16949 quality standards.
