1575MHz GPS Antenna RG174 Coaxial Cable

When precise, dependable location data is the priority, a dedicated GPS L1 Antenna operating at1575.42 MHz is essential. This antenna assembly is engineered for superior signal acquisition and retention, making it the ideal choice for vehicle tracking, personal navigation, and fixed-asset monitoring systems where consistent location reporting is mission-critical.

Featuring a powerful Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and flexible RG174 Coaxial Cable terminated with the reliable SMA Male Connector, this unit delivers the perfect balance of performance, durability, and ease of installation. It ensures your devices get a fast, accurate Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF), even in challenging RF environments.

Technical Highlights and Performance Advantages

1. High-Gain GPS L1 Element (1575.42 MHz)

The antenna is tuned specifically to the GPS L1 frequency band, providing maximum sensitivity for Global Positioning System satellites.

• Integrated LNA (Low Noise Amplifier): The built-in28dB LNA is crucial for boosting weak satellite signals. This high gain allows the GPS receiver to operate reliably in difficult locations, such as urban areas with tall buildings or areas with partial sky obstruction.

• RHCP Polarization: The Right Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP) is matched to the signal broadcast by GPS satellites, maximizing signal capture efficiency and filtering out ground-based reflections (multipath interference).

2. The RG174 Coaxial Cable: Flexibility Meets Reliability

The choice of cable is optimized for discreet and non-intrusive installations.

• Exceptional Flexibility: The thin, manageable diameter of the RG174 cable makes it highly flexible. This is perfect for routing the cable through tight spaces, around sharp corners in vehicle interiors, or within compact machine enclosures without risking damage to the cable core.

• 50Ω Impedance: The cable maintains the standard 50Ω impedance required for GPS receivers, minimizing signal loss due to mismatch. The cable length is designed to ensure minimal attenuation loss for typical application distances.

• Secure SMA Male Connector: The cable is terminated with a gold-plated SMA Male connector. This widely used interface offers excellent mechanical stability thanks to its secure screw-on coupling, ensuring the connection remains firm even under constant vibration or movement.

3. Rugged and Weatherproof Construction

Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the unit's construction prioritizes long-term dependability.

• IP67 Environmental Rating: The antenna housing is constructed from high-grade, UV-resistant ABS plastic, sealed against dust and water ingress, confirming its suitability for continuous operation in harsh environments.

• Magnetic Mounting: A powerful magnetic base allows for quick, tool-free attachment to any ferrous surface (such as metal roofs or chassis), using the metal surface as an effective ground plane to boost signal strength.

Key Applications

This GPS L1 antenna is the standard for any device requiring reliable, real-time location data:

• Fleet Vehicle Tracking: Providing logistics managers with accurate, continuous position updates for entire vehicle fleets.

• Emergency Services (AVL): Ensuring reliable Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) for police, fire, and ambulance services.

• Personal Navigation Devices: Enhancing the performance and speed of location fixes for portable devices.

• Construction and Agricultural Asset Monitoring: Tracking the movement and deployment of expensive equipment in remote, unmonitored locations.
