The EL20A from Taoglas is a Multi-Band Active GNSS Antenna solution that operates from 1200 to 1610 MHz. It combines a GNSS antenna, RF electronics, and u-blox ZED-F9P GNSS receiver to enable cm-level positioning. This solution is an energy-efficient platform that provides high-precision GNSS location for large scale, niche navigation, and autonomous applications in an off-the-shelf, compact form factor. It supports reception of signals in the GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, Galileo, and BeiDou constellations over 184 channels.
The EL20A has a positioning accuracy of up to 0.01 mm + 1 ppm CEP (RTK), an acquisition sensitivity of -129 dBm, and a tracking sensitivity of -147 dBm. This IoT platform can be easily integrated with EDGE Connect for full cellular connectivity while ensuring anti-spoofing and anti-jamming capabilities for security. The integrated antenna is compatible with PMOD interface that makes it easy to interface into third-party hardware. It also supports industry-standard USB and UART interfaces (via PMOD header) for control.
This smart antenna is available in a surface-mount package that measures 46 x 47 x 19 mm and is ideal for micro-mobility, robotic guidance, survey, mapping, professional sports, and UAV applications.
