Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector variant required during procurement, as the part may be available with either U.FL or I-PEX MHF1 interfaces. Confirm that the active LNA specifications align with system power constraints. Ensure the surface-mount footprint matches the target PCB layout to guarantee mechanical stability and electrical performance.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when space-constrained designs require an active GPS solution with high gain. The ceramic patch construction offers durability compared to wire alternatives. Consider the integrated LNA for improved sensitivity in weak signal environments. Verify compatibility with the chosen RF connector type before finalizing the bill of materials.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to Pulse Electronics' portfolio of multiprotocol antennas designed for global navigation satellite systems.
