Introduction The Ulysses miniature super low profile (only 10mm in height) GNSS antenna is designed for applications which require high positioning accuracy by combining signals from GPS and GLONASS systems. A high gain wide-band patch antenna on an integral ground delivers reliable performance. Fully IP67 waterproof rating allows use in outdoors environments. Front end SAW filter configuration eliminates potential LNA burn-out from nearby out of band radiated power bursts from other antennas that may be co-located nearby. The antenna is manufactured to strict first tier Automotive quality controlled manufacturing process in TS16949 approved facility. 2.
