The GNSS antennas improve location accuracy, use less power, and work in cities. Suitable for wearables, robots, cars, and more.
Taoglas has launched the Levity Series, a new range of active, multi-band GNSS antennas designed for high-precision applications. The AHP24510 (L1/L2/L-Band) and AHP54510 (L1/L5/L-Band) directional patch antennas support GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou satellite constellations.
By utilizing multiple satellite signals, these antennas enable faster and more accurate positioning, especially in urban environments. The L-Band capability allows compatibility with high-precision GNSS correction services, which enhance accuracy to better than 200 cm by correcting ionospheric delays and other signal distortions.
Multi-band acquisition also offers built-in redundancy, reducing satellite signal blind spots and enhancing security. Additionally, faster signal acquisition lowers system power consumption by minimizing uptime.
The AHP24510 and AHP54510 are suitable for applications in wearables, navigation, transportation, robotics, precision agriculture, and autonomous vehicles.
Levity Series antennas feature a compact 45 x 45 x 10 mm dual-stacked patch design with a dual-feed low noise amplifier (LNA) offering 28-29 dB gain and filtering. The antennas maintain a VSWR of 1:1 from 1207 MHz to 1603 MHz, with passive efficiency ranging from 39.93% at the lowest frequency to 68.51% at L1. Right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) reduces multipath interference for improved signal reliability. Customizable cables and connectors are available.
Taoglas CEO, Dermot O’Shea, commented, “With greater GNSS precision and lower energy consumption becoming key design criteria for many engineers, we see a growing opportunity for multi-band antennas in critical applications, not least drones, robotics, precision agriculture, and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). The premium performance of multi-band GNSS technology is providing competitive advantage for the end products in these competitive markets.”
