8117D-5M-SMA

Overview

The Amphenol PCTEL 8117D-5M-SMA is an active magnetic mount antenna designed for GPS L1, GLONASS L1, and GALILEO E1 bands. It operates within a frequency range of 1568 MHz to 1618 MHz, with a center frequency of 1.593 GHz. The unit integrates a low noise amplifier providing 28 dB gain and a SAW filter, requiring 2.7 to 5 volts DC. It features an SMA male connector and includes a 5-meter RG174 cable.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a low noise amplifier with 28 dB gain and a SAW filter for signal integrity
• Supports multi-constellation reception including GPS L1, GLONASS L1, and GALILEO E1
• Utilizes a magnetic mounting base with pre-threaded options for secure installation

Applications

• GNSS positioning modules requiring L1 band support
• Vehicle tracking systems utilizing magnetic attachment
• Navigation equipment operating on 2.7 to 5 volt power supplies

Procurement Notes
