Antenna targets embedded GPS applications

Acuta A10415 GPS Antenna
Antenova has announced the release of the Acuta A10415 GPS Antenna, a standard GPS antenna intended to replace the ceramic patch antenna in embedded GPS applications.
The A10415 enables substantially thinner devices, without sacrificing performance, than the typical industry standard 12 x 12mm2 ceramic patch antenna.
As a standard off-the-shelf antenna, Acuta can be used in different devices without any physical modification and is easily tuned with a simple matching circuit on the host PCB.
Acuta A10415 is a standard GPS antenna that operates at 1,575MHz and is suitable for L1-band GPS and A-GPS systems.
Acuta is a 25 x 5 x 4mm3 size standard GPS antenna intended for edge mounting by soldering directly onto the host PCB.
It is intended to be mounted on the edge of the host device PCB, facing the sky, which provides an optimal upward hemispherical right-hand circular polarisation (RHCP) radiation pattern.
Acuta also reduces the total bill of materials (BOM) as it eliminates the need for coaxial cables, RF connectors or mounting frames.
