AN_GPS_A003 SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The AN_GPS_A003 SMA is an active GPS and GLONASS antenna module manufactured by Suzhou Maswell Communication Technology Co. Ltd. It features a cylindrical design with screw mount installation for secure attachment. The unit includes an integrated Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) to enhance signal reception. Termination is provided via an SMA male connector, with a standard cable length of 3 meters (9.8 feet). The device offers ingress protection ratings of IP65, IP66, and IP67, ensuring resistance to dust and water. Gain is specified at 2dBic.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Active LNA integration for improved signal sensitivity
• Cylindrical form factor with screw mounting
• High ingress protection against environmental elements

Antennas RF Applications

• GPS navigation systems
• GLONASS positioning modules
• Marine vessel tracking equipment

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector variant required, as the model designation indicates SMA termination but other variants exist. Confirm that the 3-meter cable length meets system layout requirements. Ensure the screw mount interface aligns with the target enclosure design. Cross-reference the IP rating with environmental exposure conditions to confirm suitability for the intended deployment location.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when active amplification is necessary for weak satellite signals. The cylindrical shape suits applications requiring low profile or streamlined integration. Screw mounting provides stability in high-vibration environments. Verify compatibility with SMA female connectors on the receiving equipment before finalizing the procurement decision.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the Maswell GPS antenna series, which includes various connector options such as MMCX and FAKRA. The SMA variant specifically targets applications requiring robust RF connections. The product line supports global positioning standards including GPS and GLONASS protocols.
