ANT-GNFPC-SHL15200M4

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-GNFPC-SHL15200M4 is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna designed for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications. It supports dual-band L1 and L5 frequencies, specifically covering ranges of 1,164 MHz to 1,189 MHz and 1,598 MHz to 1,606 MHz. The component features linear polarization and a 50 Ohm impedance with a maximum power rating of 2 W. It utilizes an MHF4 connector type and includes a 200 mm cable length. The antenna operates within a temperature range of -30°C to +85°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Supports multi-constellation GNSS systems including GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, NavIC, and QZSS across L1 and L5 bands.
• Ground plane-independent dipole design allows for installation in RF-transparent enclosures without grounding requirements.
• Adhesive mounting enables permanent attachment to non-metallic surfaces for environmental sealing.

Antennas RF Applications

• Multi-constellation GNSS receivers requiring high precision in challenging urban environments.
• Drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
• Industrial and agricultural machinery navigation systems.
• Robotics and autonomous mobile robots.

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector interface and cable length configuration against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the adhesive mounting method aligns with the target enclosure material properties. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the intended deployment site. Cross-reference the frequency bands with the receiver specifications to guarantee compatibility with all required satellite constellations.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when embedded installation within plastic or RF-transparent housings is required. The ground plane independence simplifies integration into compact devices where traditional antennas might suffer from performance degradation due to nearby metal components. Consider the 200 mm cable length for routing flexibility between the antenna placement and the mainboard connector.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 series of flexible FPC antennas from TE Connectivity / Linx Technologies. The series is engineered for robust performance in multi-constellation GNSS applications. The SHL15 designation indicates support for both L1 and L5 frequency bands, providing enhanced accuracy compared to single-band solutions. The M4 suffix denotes the specific MHF4 connector type included in this variant.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Other variants within the ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 series may serve as substitutes if different cable lengths or connector types are needed. Models such as ANT-GNFPC-SHL1550UF or ANT-GNFPC-SHL15100UF offer alternative configurations while maintaining the same dual-band L1/L5 performance characteristics and adhesive mounting capabilities.
