AEACBD045015-SG2

Antennas RF Overview

The Abracon AEACBD045015-SG2 is an external GNSS antenna designed for GPS and GLONASS applications. It operates within a frequency range of 1.57542 GHz to 1.602 GHz, providing a gain of 5 dBi. The unit features a magnetic mount style with an integrated 3-meter RG174 cable terminating in an SMA male connector. Electrical specifications include a VSWR typically under 2.0 and an impedance of 50 Ohms. The antenna incorporates an internal Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and filter to enhance signal integrity.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Integrated LNA and bandpass filter for improved signal reception
• Magnetic mounting base for flexible installation
• Pre-terminated 3-meter cable with SMA connector

Antennas RF Applications

• GPS navigation systems
• GLONASS positioning modules
• GNSS tracking devices
• Outdoor telemetry equipment

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SG2' against your schematic requirements, as Abracon utilizes distinct suffixes for different configurations such as the S2332 variant which targets different frequencies. Confirm that the SMA male termination matches your receiver interface. Ensure the 3-meter cable length meets your system layout constraints before finalizing the order.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when multi-band GNSS support for both GPS and GLONASS is required in a compact puck form factor. The integrated LNA makes it suitable for applications where cable loss might otherwise degrade weak satellite signals. Compare the 5 dBi gain against higher-gain alternatives if line-of-sight conditions are obstructed.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to Abracon's external outdoor antenna series, specifically engineered for Global Navigation Satellite Systems. It complements other models like the AEACBD045015-S2332, which serves different frequency bands. The SG2 designation identifies the specific GNSS configuration within the broader product family.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1.575-1.602 GHz frequency range, SMA male connector, and magnetic mount. Verify that any replacement includes an integrated LNA to maintain equivalent noise figure performance. Generic GNSS antennas may lack the specific filtering characteristics of the Abracon design.

Antennas RF FAQ

Does the AEACBD045015-SG2 support Galileo or BeiDou?

Official documentation primarily specifies GPS and GLONASS support. While some sources list it as a multi-band GNSS antenna, explicit confirmation for Galileo or BeiDou operation is not consistently provided in the primary datasheet.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

The datasheet specifies a maximum operating temperature of +85°C, ensuring reliability in standard outdoor environments.
