Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and cable length requirements against the system interface before ordering. Confirm that the receiving equipment supports the active amplifier voltage supply if applicable. Ensure the magnetic mount surface is clean, flat, and ferrous to guarantee proper grounding and signal integrity during operation.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a dedicated external GPS solution is required for vehicles or mobile platforms. It serves as an alternative to internal patch antennas in environments where line-of-sight to satellites may be obstructed by vehicle roofs or enclosures. Consider the cable routing constraints due to the fixed 58-inch lead length.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the HG series of RF antennas manufactured by L-com. The series focuses on wireless connectivity solutions for industrial and mobile markets. This specific part addresses positioning needs within the UHF frequency range using standard automotive mounting interfaces.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1575.42 MHz frequency, SMA male connector, and NMO magnetic mount. Verify that any replacement maintains the 3 dBi gain specification and compatible cable length to ensure system performance consistency.
