1. Introduction
The Taoglas GPS/Galileo/Iridium® CGIP.25 ceramic patch antenna is a low profile
(4mm), small footprint (25*25mm), single feed antenna designed for combined
Iridium®/GPS/ Galileo applications. It has been specifically designed to provide
excellent performance in the 1575.42 to 1626.5MHz range.
This ceramic patch offers a typical peak gain of 5dBi for GPS/Galileo and Iridium®.
These patches are mounted via pin and double-sided adhesive.
While the antenna is certified, some antenna detuning or device or layout issues*
may prevent a device from passing Iridium® certification. Taoglas offers performance
testing and verification, as well as a custom tuning service for the patch for a specific
customer device and ground-plane mounting. Taoglas can also pre-test the whole
device for Iridium® certification. Please Contact Us for any assistance required.
*Actual GPS/Galileo/Iridium® system performance on a device is a function of the
overall system design of the device and environment where the device is used. Use
of even a tuned patch or any antenna on a compromised device design or application
will not guarantee good GPS/Galileo/Iridium® performance.
