Gps Antenna

A GPS Antenna is designed to receive signals from GPS satellites, enabling accurate location tracking and navigation. GPS antennas are commonly used in various applications such as automotive navigation systems, handheld GPS devices, and other GPS-based tracking systems. They are optimized to work in the L1 frequency band, which is used for standard GPS signals.

Key Features:

• Frequency Band: Typically operates in the L1 band at 1575.42 MHz
• Gain: Varies depending on the design, generally from 2 dBi to 5 dBi
• Polarization: Typically circularly polarized to match the polarization of GPS signals
• Connector Type: Various types, including SMA, MCX, or u.FL (IPEX)
• Size and Form Factor: Can vary from small patch antennas to larger, more robust designs

Technical Specifications:

• Operating Frequency: 1575.42 MHz (L1 band)
• Gain: Usually between 2 dBi and 5 dBi, depending on the design
