Active GPS antenna

6 July 2011 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Pulse Electronics has introduced a new active global positioning system (GPS) antenna with global 3G functionality including GPRS, GSM, UMTS and WCDMA. The W4150GG5000 can be installed with either side facing up so only one antenna is required, whether mounting on a windshield or dashboard, to make installation simple. It receives location information from a GPS satellite and uses the cellular network to transfer this location information to a central control centre or third party. The antenna assists in vehicle and asset tracking and location, navigation, emergency call systems, fleet tracking, insurance tracking and pay-as-you-go transport systems.

The GPS/3G antenna comes in a small elliptical package of 100 x 50 mm with a height of only 8 mm. Designed for in-vehicle adhesive mounting, the antenna combines a ceramic chip antenna, a low noise amplifier and 3G antenna functions. It is suitable for global operation providing coverage at frequencies of 824-960/1710-2170 MHz with a gain of 2/4 dBi and a radiated efficiency of up to 70%. The GPS operates at 1575,42 MHz frequency with a gain of 26 dBi max.

The antenna is individually packaged with double-sided tape for easy installation. It comes with RG-174 cable in a variety of lengths and SMA male connectors.
