Amphenol RF Expands Antenna Portfolio with Sealed IP67 GPS/GNSS Antenna Featuring Low Noise Amplifier for Enhanced Performance
Amphenol RF has added a new adhesive mount external GPS/GNSS antenna to its collection, specifically designed for outdoor use. This antenna is sealed with IP67 capabilities, providing enhanced performance with a low noise amplifier.
Amphenol RF is excited to introduce a new external antenna design to their growing antenna portfolio. This antenna is designed to be mounted with adhesive and offers waterproof protection with an IP67 rating to safeguard against external elements that could disrupt signal quality. The active GPS/GNSS antenna comes with a built-in low noise amplifier (LNA) for improved performance, making it perfect for situations where the receiver is located near the antenna and in areas with strong signal strength, like open spaces with a clear line of sight.
This kind of antenna can boost weak signals from satellites by enhancing signal strength and decreasing interference. It needs an external power supply to power the built-in LNA and is not as affected by signal loss from longer cables because the amplification happens near the antenna. This external antenna comes with an SMA connector at the end of a 3-meter cable and is frequently utilized in GPS and Glonass systems, navigation, location-based services, and fleet management.
This antenna is part of a range of external and internal antennas designed for IoT devices. They come in different configurations to support wireless protocols like LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and LoRa. These antennas can be easily paired with other Amphenol RF connectors, adapters, and cable assemblies to create a complete solution.
