W3213 Datasheet, PDF (1/3 Pages) Pulse A Technitrol Company – 1.575 GHz GPS Ceramic Patch Antenna

1.575 GHz GPS
Ceramic Patch Antenna
Pulse Part Number W3213
Pulse is please to announce the W3213 GPS patch anten-
na to compliment our growing range of tracking antenna
products. This small 0.5 x .05 inch (13 x 13 mm) ceramic
patch antenna is 0.16 inches (4 mm) high and has a pin-
through mount. Double sided tape is on the underside of
the antenna for adhesion to the customer board.
Operating at 1.575 GHz, L1 GPS band, the W3213 patch
provides circularly polarized radiation patterns to con-
nect to satellite systems. Performance in this specifica-
tion sheet is based on a ground plan of 1.2 x 1.2 inches
(30 x 30 mm) delivering a gain of -1.5 dBic at Zenith and
10 degrees with 3dB axial ratio at Zenith. Increasing
the size of the ground plane can significantly boost the
actual application. Contact Pulse for applications sup-
port to get the best performance from your Navigation
systems. Solutions for Glonass bands and surface mount
patch antennas are also available on request.
