Description
The A10204 GPS antenna is intended for reception of GPS signals at 1575 MHz. The antenna uses a ground plane in order to radiate efficiently. It should be noted that the radiation patterns and efficiency will change with the size of the ground plan, and optimized efficiency is achieved with appropriate matching. The antenna has RHCP characteristics suitable for reception of GPS signals.

Applications
Small mobile and handheld devices with embedded GPS systems
Application-specific tracking modules
GPS accessories: USB dongle, SDIO cards, PCMCIA card
