Aboosty GNSS/GPS Antennas
Please note that if you require specific connectors or cable lengths on a standard antenna they can be customized to your specific requirements.
Our GNSS/GPS antennas have passive and active portfolios. Welcome to consult.
GNSS Frequency Range: 1561 MHz – 1601 MHz, with a center frequency of 1575 MHz GNSS antennas are primarily used for positioning and designed for use in open, unobstructed spaces.
The U.S. GPS (L1-L5) system: The center frequency of the L1 band is 1575.42 MHz, with a bandwidth of about 20.46 MHz. This band is mainly used for civilian positioning and navigation services.
The Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System operates on multiple frequency bands. The B1 band is one of the main civilian bands of BeiDou, with a center frequency of approximately 1561.098 MHz and a bandwidth of about 4.092 MHz.
In addition, there are systems like Europe’s Galileo and Russia’s GLONASS. Ceramic patch antennas are commonly used for these systems. They are typically found in automotive and marine navigation systems, and can also be used in devices like smartwatches, fitness trackers, and in surveying and geographic information applications.
Position Antennas at the PCB Edge
Generally, antennas should be placed at the edge of a circuit board away from other circuit components to maximumly minimize electromagnetic interference. The aim is to keep the antenna away from noise-generating components such as power ICs, clocks, and other signal buses. Ensuring adequate clearance from these components helps maintain signal integrity and improve overall performance.
Three Ways to Mount the Embedded Antenna
Placing the antenna on the PCB corner is generally the most desirable location. This typically results in better antenna gain.
Placing the antenna at the side edge of the PCB can also ensure the best performance. Some antennas reach their highest performance when paling on the long-side edge of the circuit board, while others achieve the best results when positioned on the short-side edge of the board. Antenna designers need to experiment to find the best answer.
In extreme cases, the antenna may be placed over or between ground planes. In this case, Antennas should not be placed directly above any ground layers on the PCB, or the metal layer or battery beneath would affect how signals are propagated, disrupting the antenna’s functionality.
