The MPA-134-GPS from Maxtena is a Microstrip GNSS Antenna that operates at GPS and GLONASS frequencies from 1595 to 1610 MHz. This RHCP antenna provides a gain of -1.5 dBic at Zenith and has a VSWR of less than 2:1. It utilizes a special semi ceramic-based material which leads to higher upper hemisphere efficiency and a lower axial ratio (5 dBi) as compared to regular patch antennas. The antenna can be mounted directly on the application PCB with a connection via the through-hole pin. It is available in a compact SMT module that measures 13 x 13 x 4 mm and is designed for embedded applications which require GNSS such as tracking devices and IoT solutions.
The antenna is ideal for use in vehicle and fleet tracking, military & security, asset tracking, oil & gas industries, navigation devices, mining equipment, LBS & M2M applications, handheld devices, and law enforcement applications.
