ECHO26A/0.1M/IPEX/S/S/15

Antennas RF Overview

The ECHO26A/0.1M/IPEX/S/S/15 is a GPS patch antenna from the Siretta ECHO 26 series, designed for navigation applications. It operates at a center frequency of 1.57542 GHz with a gain of 27 dBi and a VSWR of 1.5. The component features right-hand circular polarization and a 50-ohm impedance. It utilizes an I-Pex connector and includes a 0.1-meter cable. The antenna is surface-mounted and incorporates an integrated Low Noise Amplifier (LNA).

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Integrated Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for signal enhancement.
• Right-hand circular polarization optimized for GPS signals.
• Compact surface-mount PCB trace design.

Antennas RF Applications

• GPS navigation systems
• GNSS receiver modules
• Positioning devices

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffixes in the part number correspond to the required cable length and connector type. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB layout and ensure the LNA power requirements align with the system design. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm current production status and any potential obsolescence notices before finalizing procurement plans.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when high gain and integrated amplification are required for compact GPS installations. The 27 dBi gain supports long-range or low-signal environments. Ensure the host circuitry can support the active LNA voltage and current specifications. Compare against passive alternatives if power consumption is a critical constraint in the application design.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the Siretta ECHO 26 series of internal active antennas. It is distinct from the ECHO 27 series, which offers lower gain but similar form factors. The ECHO 26 series is specifically engineered for high-performance GNSS applications requiring robust signal acquisition in challenging environments.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ECHO27/0.1M/IPEX/S/S/15 is a related alternative within the same product family. Note that the ECHO27 variant provides 22 dBi gain compared to the 27 dBi of the ECHO26A. Verify connector compatibility and LNA integration requirements when considering substitutes.
