Amphenol RF Expands Antenna Portfolio with Sealed IP67 External GPS/GNSS Antenna Featuring Low Noise Amplifier
Amphenol RF has added a new antenna to its collection, an external GPS/GNSS antenna that can be mounted with adhesive and is designed for outdoor use. This antenna is sealed with IP67 capabilities, which helps to improve performance by reducing noise with the addition of a low noise amplifier.
Amphenol RF is excited to introduce a new external antenna design to their growing antenna collection. This external antenna has an adhesive mount and is waterproof with an IP67 rating to protect against external elements that could affect signal quality. It also includes a built-in low noise amplifier (LNA) for improved performance, making it perfect for situations where the receiver is near the antenna and in areas with strong signal strength, like open spaces with clear visibility.
This antenna is designed to boost weak signals from satellites by enhancing signal quality and minimizing 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 takes place near the antenna. The antenna has an SMA connector at the end of a 3-meter cable and is frequently used in GPS, Glonass, navigation, location-based services, and fleet management systems.
This particular antenna is part of a collection of external and internal IoT antennas that are currently on the market in different external and internal setups to support popular wireless protocols like LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and LoRa. These ready-made products can be paired with other Amphenol RF connectors, adapters, and cable assemblies to form a complete solution from start to finish.
