Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '150UF' to confirm the inclusion of the 150 mm cable length and MHF1 connector type. Ensure compatibility with the host device's RF interface requirements. Confirm that the application environment allows for adhesive mounting on non-conductive materials as specified by the manufacturer.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when dual-frequency L1/L5 performance is required for improved signal integrity in obstructed areas. The integrated cable simplifies assembly compared to bare FPC variants. Ensure the target enclosure material is RF-transparent to maintain optimal antenna efficiency and radiation patterns.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 series of flat patch antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. The series is engineered for embedded applications where space constraints and environmental sealing are critical. It provides a low-profile solution for modern multi-constellation positioning systems.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The variant ANT-GNFPC-SHL1550UF offers identical electrical performance but utilizes a 50 mm cable length. The variant ANT-GNFPC-SHL15100UF provides a 100 mm cable option. All variants share the same 25 mm x 25 mm form factor and adhesive mounting characteristics.
