Amphenol RF Introduces Sealed IP67 External GPS/GNSS Antenna with Low Noise Amplifier for Enhanced Performance
Amphenol RF has added a new adhesive mount external GPS/GNSS antenna to its antenna lineup, specifically designed for outdoor use and equipped with sealed IP67 capabilities. This antenna is designed to improve performance by reducing noise with the inclusion of a low noise amplifier.
Amphenol RF is excited to introduce a new external antenna design to their growing portfolio. This antenna has an adhesive mount and is sealed with IP67-rated waterproof protection to guard against external elements that could disrupt signal quality. The active GPS/GNSS antenna also includes a built-in low noise amplifier (LNA) for improved performance, making it perfect for applications where the receiver is near the antenna and in areas with strong signal strength, like open spaces with a clear line of sight.
This particular antenna can strengthen faint signals from satellites by enhancing signal clarity and decreasing interference. It needs an external power supply to activate the built-in LNA and is not as affected by signal weakening from longer cables because the amplification takes place near the antenna. This external antenna comes with an SMA connector at the end of a 3-meter cable and is often utilized in GPS and Glonass systems, as well as for navigation, location-based services, and fleet management purposes.
This antenna is part of a collection of external and internal antennas designed for IoT devices. They come in different configurations to support popular wireless protocols like LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and LoRa. These antennas can be easily paired with other Amphenol RF connectors, adapters, and cables to create a complete solution.
