AH316M157501 Radiedge GPS antenna
Taiyo Yuden's newest Radiedge GPS antenna is said to be the smallest in the industry.
Measuring 3.2 x 1.6 x 0.5mm, the AH316M157501 is approximately 87 per cent smaller in volume and 69 per cent shorter in height than the company's previous AF816M157502 (8.0 x 1.6 x 1.6mm) model.
The lower-profile EIA 1206-size antenna is designed to promote the development of smaller and slimmer GPS-ready mobile phones, smartphones and portable navigation devices (PNDs), as well as improving the flexibility of antenna placement.
While Taiyo Yuden's previous compact chip antenna could only be mounted to the corner of a substrate for GPS-ready devices, the smaller AH316M157501 allows for flexibility in antenna placement.
