These antennas should be used with multi-constellation GNSS receivers on dual GNSS bands to benefit from a more precise navigation and less dropouts in challenging environments such as tall buildings in urban areas. The ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 antennas provide a ground plane independent dipole internal/embedded antenna solution. The flexibility and adhesive backing make the ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 series easier to mount in RF transparent (e.g., plastic) enclosures, enabling environmental sealing and protection from antenna damage. Connection is made to the radio via a coaxial cable terminated in an MHF1/U.FL-type plug (female socket), or MHF4- type plug (female socket) connector. ## **FEATURES** - Performance at 1164-1189 MHz - VSWR: ≤ 2.4 - Peak Gain: -0.2 dBi - Efficiency: 26% - Performance at 1559-1592 MHz - VSWR: ≤ 2.2 - Peak Gain: 3.3 dBi - Efficiency: 46% - Performance at 1598-1606 MHz - VSWR: ≤ 1.4 ## **APPLICATIONS** - Global navigation – GPS L1/L5 - Galileo E1/E5A - NavIC L5 - Beidou B1C, B1I - QZSS L1/L5 - Timing solutions - UAVs (Drones) - Robotic lawnmowers - Industrial and agricultural machines - Peak Gain: 3.0 dBi - Efficiency: 43% - Ground plane independent dipole antenna - Linear polarization - Compact, low-profile - 25.0 mm x 25.0 mm x 0.1 mm - Adhesive backing permanently adheres to non metal enclosures using 3M 467MP/200MP adhesive - Flexible to fit in challenging enclosures DATA AND DEVICES / ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 SERIES ## **ORDERING INFORMATION** **==> picture [528 x 163] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **PACKAGING INFORMATION** The ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 antenna is individually packaged in a plastic bag and placed in bags of 100 pcs. Distribution channels may offer alternative packaging options. ## **ANTENNA MOUNTING** The ANT-GNFPC-SHL1 antenna is a flexible, adhesive backed antenna that allows it to be permanently installed onto non-metallic surfaces. The adhesive backing is 3M 467MP/200MP, which provides outstanding adhesion to high surface energy plastics. The adhesive delivers excellent shear strength to resist slippage and edge lifting, but can be repositioned before the adhesive cures, allowing for accurate positioning. Once cured, this adhesive is highly resistant to solvents, humidity, and moisture, as well as heat up to 204 °C (400 °F) for short periods. The antenna should never be bent past a 2mm / .078” min bend radius nor should the angle of the bend be allowed to fall below 90 degrees (i.e., become acute) as this will impair function and may cause permanent damage.

Figure 1. ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 Product Dimensions ## **ADHESIVE FOR USE ON HSE (HIGH SURFACE ENERGY) SUBSTRATES** Use an appropriate primer suitable for full adhesion to Low Surface Energy or difficult plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene. Antenna assembly application of adhesive to surface: 1. Clean surfaces and ensure no large surface gaps are present. 2. Apply an appropriate primer to surface if dealing with a plastic or LSE material. 3. Remove backing and apply antenna using even pressure for 10 seconds. 4. Apply to surface between 21ºC and 38ºC [70ºF and 100ºF] 5. Full adhesion properties in 24 hours. DATA AND DEVICES / ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 SERIES 4 ## **VSWR** Figure 2 provides the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) across the antenna bandwidth. VSWR describes the power reflected from the antenna back to the radio. A lower VSWR value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency. Reflected power is also shown on the right-side vertical axis as a gauge of the percentage of transmitter power reflected back from the antenna. **==> picture [479 x 460] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 Antenna Radiation Efficiency with Frequency Band Highlights DATA AND DEVICES / ANT-GNFPC-SHL15 SERIES 8 ## **RADIATION PATTERNS** Radiation patterns provide information about the directionality and 3-dimensional gain performance of the antenna by plotting gain at specific frequencies in three orthogonal planes. Antenna radiation patterns (Figure 6) are shown using polar plots covering 360 degrees. The antenna graphic above the plots provides reference to the plane of the column of plots below it. Note: when viewed with typical PDF viewing software, zooming into radiation patterns is possible to reveal fine detail. ## **RADIATION PATTERNS - HORIZONTAL** **==> picture [232 x 6] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
