1. Introduction
The AP.35A has been designed for embedded (inside device) integration with GPS
receiver modules, the AP.35A combines a 35*35*3.5mm advanced low profile
ceramic patch antenna with a one stage LNA and ultra thin coaxial cable.
The Ground Plane size of 35*35mm combined with the larger size GPS Patch, gives
this solution a performance increase in gain of 1~2dB. It also helps shields the patch
antenna from noise and increases performance at low elevations.. Taoglas active
antenna modules utilise XtremeGain" technology for the highest sensitivity in the
industry.
This antenna system consists of two functional blocks, the LNA portion and the patch
antenna. The AP.35A has a back-end SAW filter.
