GPS L1 Band & GLONASS Ceramic Patch Antenna Pulse Part Number W3216 Pulse is pleased to announce the W3216 GPS and GLONASS patch antenna to compliment our growing range of tracking antenna products. This small 0.5 x 0.5 inch (13 x 13 mm) ceramic patch antenna is .2 inches (5 mm) high and has a pinthrough mount. The underside of the antenna has double-sided tape for adhesion to the customer board. Operating at 1.575 GHz, (L1 GPS band) and 1.5981.606 GHz (GLONASS), the W3216 patch provides circularly polarized radiation patterns to connect to satellite systems. Reported performance is based on a ground plane of 2 x 2 inches (50 x 50 mm) delivering a gain of -2 dBic at Zenith. Increasing the size of the ground plane can significantly boost the actual application gain. Contact Pulse for applications support to get the best performance from your Navigation system.
