ANT-GPS-UC-SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-GPS-UC-SMA is an active GPS antenna module manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx. It operates at the standard L1 frequency of 1.575 GHz and features a Right-Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP) configuration to optimize signal reception for Global Positioning System applications. The unit includes a 5-meter cable length terminating in an SMA male connector, facilitating integration into various electronic assemblies. Designed as a magnetic mount solution, it provides a convenient installation method without requiring permanent fixtures. This component serves as a dedicated RF front-end element for positioning systems.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Active GPS antenna module optimized for L1 band reception
• Magnetic mounting design for non-permanent installation
• SMA male connector interface with integrated 5-meter cable

Antennas RF Applications

• Global Positioning System receiver modules
• Navigation equipment integration
• Telematics tracking devices

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and cable length requirements against system schematics before procurement. Confirm that the active module power supply specifications align with the host device's voltage and current capabilities. Ensure the magnetic mount surface is suitable for the intended operational environment to maintain secure attachment during movement.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a pre-tuned active GPS solution with extended cabling is required. The integrated 5-meter cable reduces the need for additional extension harnesses in complex layouts. The magnetic base offers flexibility for temporary or semi-permanent deployments where drilling or adhesive mounting is undesirable or prohibited.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the broader category of RF antennas designed for wireless communication and positioning systems. It specifically addresses the needs of GPS navigation hardware by providing a complete antenna assembly rather than a bare radiating element. The inclusion of the SMA connector and fixed cable length distinguishes it from modular components that require separate interconnects.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-GPS-UC-MCX is a related variant within the same product family, offering identical functional characteristics but utilizing an MCX male connector instead of SMA. Verify connector compatibility with the target PCB or cable assembly before substitution.
