Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and mounting configuration required for your assembly, as datasheets may list variations. Confirm that the power supply circuit can provide the necessary 4V to 15V range for the internal LNA. Ensure the SMA interface matches the host board or cable assembly specifications before finalizing the order.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when an active antenna with built-in amplification is required for weak signal environments. The dome form factor suits applications needing low profile integration. Consider the DC voltage requirements carefully, as passive alternatives do not need external power. Verify compatibility with the target GNSS receiver's input impedance and connector style.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to Pulse Electronics' portfolio of RF antennas and wireless solutions. It is categorized under navigation antennas specifically engineered for GPS frequencies.
