• GLONASS navigation modules
• Integrated GNSS tracking devices

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BT' against official Pulse Electronics documentation to confirm it denotes the correct tape-and-reel packaging variant distinct from other finish or package options. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for surface mount components. Cross-reference the full part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and lead times, as manufacturing specifications may vary by production batch.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-gain ceramic patch antenna is required for L1 band navigation applications. Compare its 2.52 dBi gain and -10 dB return loss against alternative models like the ANT1818B00FTGNSSS to determine suitability based on space constraints and performance requirements. Consider the surface mount solder termination for integration into dense PCB layouts requiring automated placement.

Antennas RF Part Context

This model belongs to the ANT1818 series of GNSS antennas from Pulse Electronics. It shares the fundamental ceramic patch architecture with variants such as the ANT1818B00FTGNSSS but differs in electrical specifications and termination style. The series is engineered for robust satellite signal acquisition in mobile and embedded navigation systems.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT1818B00FTGNSSS is a related ceramic patch antenna within the same product family. Verify if the lower gain (-2dBic) and adhesive mounting of the FT variant are acceptable alternatives. No other direct public substitutes are confirmed.
