The Taoglas AGVLB256.A is a multi-band GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou/Compass and IRNSS, high performance GPS L1 / L5 & BeiDou B1 Active Stacked Patch Antenna for high precision GPS and BeiDou accuracy and fast positioning. It utilizes a 25*25*10mm advanced dual stacked ceramic patch antenna with optimized gain for GPS L1/L5, Galileo, IRNSS and BeiDou bands, allowing for better navigation accuracy. 

The AGVLB256.A has been designed for in-device mounting with a small size of just 25*25*10mm, it can fit in some of the most compact devices. This compact antenna exhibits excellent radiation patterns on both GPS L1/L5 bands and with a low noise figure to preserve signal quality helps minimize time to first fix. It also features excellent out-of-band rejection to prevent out-of-band signals from overdriving or damaging its LNAs. 

Typical Applications Include: 

- Autonomous Vehicles 

- Precision Agriculture 

- Surveying & Mapping Equipment 

- Telematics & Fleet Management 

- Industrial & Construction Machinery 

- Marine & Navigation Systems 

The cable and connector are fully customizable, contact your regional Taoglas customer support team to request these services or additional support to integrate and test this antenna’s performance in your device.
