GPSGB1315

Antennas RF Overview

The GPSGB1315 is an active GNSS ceramic patch antenna manufactured by Pulse Electronics. It supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou navigation protocols. The unit operates within the L1 band, covering frequencies from 1.56 GHz to 1.602 GHz. It features a U.FL (UMCC) or I-PEX MHF1 connector for termination. The design integrates a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) within the patch structure. This configuration ensures reliable signal reception for internal mounting applications requiring compact form factors.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Active GNSS ceramic patch design with integrated Low Noise Amplifier
• Supports multiple global navigation satellite systems including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou
• Compact internal mounting suitable for space-constrained electronic devices

Antennas RF Applications

• Internal mobile device navigation modules
• Automotive telematics units
• IoT tracking devices
• Portable consumer electronics requiring location services

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector variant required, as the component utilizes U.FL or I-PEX MHF1 interfaces. Confirm that the active nature of the antenna aligns with the host system's power delivery capabilities for the integrated LNA. Ensure mechanical clearance accommodates the patch dimensions during integration into the final enclosure design.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when internal placement is mandatory due to external antenna restrictions. The active design compensates for cable losses inherent in short internal runs. Verify compatibility with the target RF front-end impedance and frequency bands. Consider the thermal environment of the host device, as active components generate heat during operation.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to Pulse Electronics' GNSS antenna portfolio, specifically targeting internal installation scenarios. It complements their external and PCB-mounted offerings by providing a pre-amplified solution. The series focuses on multi-constellation support to enhance positioning accuracy in challenging signal environments.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the active patch topology and U.FL/I-PEX MHF1 interface. Generic passive antennas are not equivalent replacements due to the lack of integrated amplification. Verify that alternative parts support the same L1 frequency range and multi-constellation standards.
