FXP612.07.0095A Datasheet, PDF (2/14 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – FXP612 Flexible Polymer

1. Introduction
The patent pending FXP612 embedded flexible antenna is a next generation GNSS
antenna designed to cover working frequencies in the GPSL1/L2/L5/Glonass/BeiDou
bands. This antenna features the highest efficiencies in the market, not just an
incredible efficiency of 90% in GPS/Glonass/BeiDou L1 bands, but also 70%
efficiency in the GPS L2 and L5 bands. The FXP612 is a linear polarized antenna, but
with an omni-directional radiation pattern which makes it less sensitive to device
orientation. The VSWR is also extremely low, below 1.6 at all bands, this of course
contributes to it’s total radiation efficiency, but also means it is ideal for low power
consumption applications.
This antenna is made of durable, flexible, polymer with a cable and connector for
easy installation. It is designed to be mounted directly to the inner shell of a plastic
housing or glass enclosure/cover. No space is needed on the PCBs of your device,
but at least 20mm of minimum clearance is required from the ground-plane to
achieve optimal antenna efficiency. At 76mm*47mm*0.15mm, the antenna is ultra-
thin and can be applied by a simple peel and stick process, attaching securely to
non-metal surfaces via 3M adhesive. It has been tuned to work directly on ABS/PC
plastic housings.
Typical Applications
- Telematics
- Fleet Management
- Positioning
It is an ideal choice for any device maker that needs a solution that can work on L1
and L2 today, but also for years to come with the new L2 and L5 GPS civilian signal
bands coming on stream in 2020 and beyond, and which would like to keep
manufacturing costs down over the lifetime of a product. Cable type, length and
connectors are customizable. For cable lengths over 200mm, it is recommended to
use an active GPS patch antenna. Please contact your regional Taoglas sales office
