SPE-11-8-094/D/SS | page 2 of 11 The AP.12F has been designed specifically for embedded (inside device) integration with GPS receiver modules where there is a GSM transmitter nearby and risk of interference and saturation. The AP.12F combines a 12*12*3.5mm advanced low profile ceramic patch antenna with a two stage LNA and a front- end SAW filter with ultra thin coaxial cable. Only 5.6mm in height, this Taoglas active antenna module utilises XtremeGainTM technology for the highest industry sensitivity. The AP.12F consists of 2 functional blocks – the LNA and also the patch antenna. The AP.12F has a SAW filter on the front of it. The main use of the AP.12F would be for small devices where the GSM transmitter is close to the GPS antenna, it helps avoid burn-out of the LNA or the module due to interference from the GSM transmitter at out band frequencies. 1.

Plugs Usage Precautions (1) To disconnect connectors, insert the end portion of I-PEX under the connector flanges and pull off vertically, in the direc- tion of the connector mating axis. (2) To mate the connectors, the mating axes of both connectors must be aligned and the connectors can be mated. The “click” will confirm fully mated connection. Do not attempt to insert on an extreme angle. After the connectors are mated, do not apply a load to the cable in excess of the values indicated in the diagram below. 8.I Mating / unmating
