DATASHEET  

Part No. 1002857  

Product: EtherHelix  

GPS Antenna  

Part No. 1002857  

EtherHelix™ Mission Critical GPS Antenna  

1.575 GHz Circularly Polarized  

Supports: Aviation, GPS Navigation Systems, Fire & Rescue, Asset Tracking, Automotive, Security, Home Network application  

EtherHelix™ series of GPS Quad Helix Isolated Magnetic Dipole™ (IMD)  

antennas deliver on the key needs of device designers for higher  

functionality and performance in the worlds smallest Stand alone Circular  

polarized external

 

and internal designs. These innovative antennas provide  

compelling advantages for GPS enabled cell phones, navigation equipment,  

and other mobile devices.  

Real-World Performance and Implementation  

Antennas may look alike on the outside, but the important difference is  

inside. Other antennas may contain simple PIFA or monopole patch designs  

that inter-act with their surroundings, complicating component layout or  

changing performance with use position.
