The MPA-406-1612/189-00050-01 is a passive GPS and Iridium microstrip antenna manufactured by Maxtena Inc. It operates within the UHF frequency group, specifically centered at 1.227 GHz for L2 band applications. The component is designed for navigation systems requiring dual-band support for GPS and Iridium satellite communications.
Verify the specific datasheet version and mechanical drawing compatibility before procurement. Confirm that the passive design meets the impedance requirements of the host RF circuit. Ensure the operating environment aligns with the specified temperature range and physical mounting constraints defined in the official documentation.
Select this component when a single antenna solution is required for both GPS L2 and Iridium bands. Consider the microstrip form factor for space-constrained PCB layouts. Evaluate the passive nature against active antenna needs for low-noise amplification requirements in weak signal environments.
This part belongs to Maxtena's family of passive GNSS antennas. It complements other models like the MPA-124-C and MPA-182-C by offering specialized dual-band capabilities for L2 and Iridium frequencies, distinct from standard L1-only ceramic or patch antennas.
Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Verify cross-compatibility with existing designs through electrical simulation and mechanical fit analysis rather than direct part substitution.
