Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the selected variant matches the required connector type, as the series supports both MHF1 and U.FL terminations. Confirm that the application environment utilizes non-metallic housing materials to ensure proper antenna function. Ensure the receiving equipment supports dual-band GNSS processing to utilize the L1/L5 capabilities effectively.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when space constraints require a low-profile solution under 0.1 mm thickness. Choose this part for applications demanding high precision in challenging urban environments where signal multipath interference is prevalent. Ensure the host device provides sufficient power handling and impedance matching for the specified VSWR limits.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 series of flexible PCB antennas from TE Connectivity Linx Technologies. The series is engineered specifically for embedded GNSS applications requiring environmental sealing and protection within plastic housings. It serves as a critical interface between the satellite signals and the internal receiver modules.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other models within the ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 series, such as ANT-GNFPC-SHL15100UF or ANT-GNFPC-SHL15150UF, which share identical electrical specifications but differ in cable length. Verify connector compatibility before substitution.
