CGGP.18.2.A.02

Antennas RF Overview

The CGGP.18.2.A.02 is a ceramic patch antenna designed for GPS, GLONASS, and GALILEO navigation systems. It operates within the L1 band (1.575 GHz to 1.602 GHz) and features a center frequency of 1.57542 GHz. The component provides a gain of 3.53 dBi with a VSWR of 2. It utilizes an adhesive or pin mounting style and has a maximum height of 2mm. The physical dimensions are 18mm x 18mm.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Dual-resonance design supporting multiple global navigation satellite systems including GPS, GLONASS, and GALILEO.
• Low-profile ceramic construction suitable for embedded applications requiring minimal vertical space.
• Surface mount termination options including pin and adhesive configurations for flexible integration.

Antennas RF Applications

• Vehicle telematics
• Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication modules
• Embedded navigation devices

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mounting configuration required for your PCB layout, as the datasheet indicates both adhesive and pin options. Confirm that the operating temperature range meets your environmental specifications. Ensure the RF connector interface on your host board matches the antenna's termination type. Cross-reference the part number suffix to confirm the exact variant available from authorized distributors.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this antenna when a low-profile solution is required for multi-constellation GNSS reception. The 18mm footprint offers a balance between size and performance for compact designs. Consider the 3.53 dBi gain for standard indoor and outdoor navigation needs. Evaluate the mechanical stability provided by the adhesive option versus the soldered pin connection based on vibration requirements.

Antennas RF Part Context

This model belongs to Taoglas' CGGP series of ceramic patch antennas. The series is characterized by its passive design and suitability for embedded navigation applications. The 18mm form factor distinguishes it from larger panel-mount variants while maintaining comparable electrical performance for L-band signals.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The SGGP.18.4.A.02 is a related Taoglas model with similar dimensions but different gain characteristics. Verify compatibility if substituting, as gain and mounting details may vary. No other direct cross-model substitutes are explicitly documented in the provided source material.
