SPE-11-8-126/B/SS Page 1 of 9 SPECIFICATION Part No. : AP.12B.07.0046A Product Name : 12mm Two Stage Active GPS/GALILEO Patch Antenna Features : Ultra Miniature GPS/GALILEO active patch High performance Ultra low power consumption RoHS compliant

SPE-11-8-126/B/SS Page 2 of 9 1. Introduction This miniaturised GPS/GALILEO Active Antenna module combines a tiny 12mm squared ceramic patch antenna from Cirocomm with a two stage low noise amplifier. It is available as a ‘plug and play’ format for onboard integration with GPS/GALILEO receiver modules via ultra thin coaxial cable and connector from IPEX. Only 5.5mm in height, this new Taoglas active antenna module utilises XtremeGain™ technology for the highest industry sensitivity. Designed for use with the new generation of GPS/GALILEO receiver modules using chipsets from SiRF, Ublox, Nemerix, Fastrax, Navsync, Falcom, Telit, Tyco, Siemens etc. The antenna system consists of two functional blocks, the LNA portion and the patch antenna.

Mating / Un-mating (1) To disconnect connectors, insert the end portion of I-PEX under the connector flanges and pull off vertically, in the direction 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. 8.2. Pull forces on the cable after connectors are mated After the connectors are mating, do not apply a load to the cable in excess of the values indicated in the diagram below.
