SPECIFICATION Part No. : AA.170.301111 Product Name : Magma GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou External Automotive Antenna 3M RG-174 SMA(M) Feature : Magnetic Mount 3M RG-174 SMA(M) Connector Front-end SAW Cable and connector customizable Automotive TS19649 Quality Dimensions : 53mm*50mm*17mm RoHS Compliant SPE-15-8-001/B/EW Page 1 of 22 1. Introduction The AA.170 Magma magnetic mount external antenna is ideal for robust, covert installations where durability and small size is paramount. This low profile antenna is tuned for stable operation over GPS-GLONASS-BeiDou frequency bands and is used in the following typical applications - Advanced telematics and M2M applications - Fleet management Axial ratio is 3 at the main GPS band, indicating good right hand circular polarization, which increases location accuracy and speed of lock in the GNSS system. Standard cable and connector version is 3 meter RG174 and SMA(M). A front-end SAW reduces out-band interference from any nearby wireless transmitters, helping prevent LNA compression and burnout. The Magma antenna is manufactured in first tier TS1949 automotive approved facility, with full PPAP and IMDS documentation available. Cable length and connector type are customizable upon request. . Adhesive mounting version is also available upon request. Contact your regional Taoglas office for support. SPE-15-8-001/B/EW Page 2 of 22 2.
