GWLA01 Datasheet, PDF (2/21 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – GPS L1/GALILEO & Bluetooth/Wi-Fi 2.4GHz

1. Introduction
The GWLA.01 GPS/GALILEO / 2.4GHz embedded loop antenna is a high efficiency,
miniature SMD, edge mounted ceramic antenna for GPS/GALILEO and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi,
WLAN, ZigBee, Bluetooth, and 802.11 applications. It is particularly useful where PCB
space is limited. Customers can use this antenna for GPS/GALILEO and 2.4GHz (Wi-
Fi or Bluetooth) modules. Rather than using two separate chip antennas for
GPS/GALILEO and 2.4GHz, the GWLA.01 has two separate antenna feeds, one for
each, making it the ideal choice for applications where there is limited PCB space. The
GWLA.01 uses the main PCB as its ground plane, thereby maintaining good efficiency
despite its small size. The GWLA.01 can be tuned for different PCB sizes/environments
by simply changing the values of the matching circuit. It is ideally mounted on the
center edge of a ground-plane.
At 3.2*1.6*0.5mm, the GWLA.01 is one of the smallest combination embedded
antennas available worldwide. This antenna is delivered on tape and reel.
