1.Introduction

This 18mm ceramic GPS/Glonass patch antenna, by means of a double resonance

design, has unique wide-band operation over the whole operating bands of GPS and

Glonass systems from 1575MHz to 1610MHz. It is mounted via pin and double-sided

adhesive.

This antenna has been tuned for a centre position on a 70mm*70mm ground-plane. It

is manufactured and tested in a TS16949 first tier automotive approved facility. For

further optimization to customer specific device environments where positioning is off

centre or on different ground-plane sizes, custom tuned patch antennas can be

supplied. For more details please email sales@taoglas.com
