Multiband GNSS Single Feed Patch GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou Covering L1/L5 Evaluation Board
The Taoglas GVLB356.A multiband GNSS stacked ceramic patch is a high-performance, precision engineered passive patch antenna covering GPS L1 and L5, Galileo E1, E5a and GLONASS G1, and also the additional B1 and B2 BeiDou bands. The base 35 x 35mm patch and the upper 25 x 25mm patch have a single pin feed output that combines both L1 and L5 signals into one to simplify the overall design of the device receiver which lowers power consumption, saves on the number of electronic components which in turn saves on costs and reduces PCB space.
At just 6mm in height it is a great option for devices requiring a compact multiband GNSS patch. The GVLB356.A exhibits very good gain and radiation pattern stability on both L1 and L5 bands, improved reliability of a GPS fix in urban areas, better receive signal reception with more satellites acquired, and a quicker time to first fix.
Typical Applications Include:
- High accuracy positioning and navigation systems
- UAVs, Robotics & Autonomous Vehicles
- Mapping & GIS
- Transportation & Telematics
- Precision Agriculture
- Public Safety, Search & Rescue
- RTK System
This patch is tuned specifically for a 70 x 70mm ground plane however patch antennas can also be tuned to customer-specific device environments, subject to NRE and MOQ. If active electronics are required, the GVLB356.A can be combined with the Taoglas TFM.100B GNSS Front End Module that features a SAW/LNA/SAW/LNA topology in both the low and high band signal paths to prevent unwanted out-of-band interference from overdriving the GNSS LNAs or receiver. Including the active.
