DATASHEET Part No. 1002857 Product: EtherHelix GPS Antenna Part No. 1002857 EtherHelixTM Mission Critical GPS Antenna 1.575 GHz Circularly Polarized Supports: Aviation, GPS Navigation Systems, Fire & Rescue, Asset Tracking, Automotive, Security, Home Network application EtherHelixTM series of GPS Quad Helix Isolated Magnetic DipoleTM (IMD) antennas deliver on the key needs of device designers for higher functionality and performance in the worlds smallest Stand alone Circular polarized external and internal designs. These innovative antennas provide compelling advantages for GPS enabled cell phones, navigation equipment, and other mobile devices. EtherHelix GPS Antenna Quadhelix design 1.575 GHz Smallest Effective Size Ethertronics' antennas require a smaller keep-out area for surrounding components, leading to a smaller effective size. High Performance Ethertronics' high efficiency and simple design rules lower development risk and speed timeto-market without sacrificing performance. Plus, high RF selectivity eliminates the cost and space for band-pass circuitry. Reliability Products are the latest RoHS version compliant. APPLICATIONS * * * * * * GPS enabled * phones GPS navigation * systems Mobile devices * Tracking * Wireless Monitoring * IoT * Medical/Healthcare applications 9/19/2019 Frequency GPS - 1.575 GHz Polarization Right Hand CP (RHCP) Peak Gain (dBi) KEY BENEFITS * Real-World Performance and Implementation Antennas may look alike on the outside, but the important difference is inside. Other antennas may contain simple PIFA or monopole patch designs that inter-act with their surroundings, complicating component layout or changing performance with use position. Ethertronics' antennas utilize patented IMD technology to deliver a unique size and performance combination.
