## **1. Introduction** 

The AP.10F active GPS/GALILEO patch antenna is the smallest GPS/GALILEO high performance antenna currently available in the world. It uses an extremely sensitive high dielectric constant powder formulation and tight process control and patented circular polarized side stripe design the 10*10*4mm patch antenna. The front end SAW filter reduces the risks where there is a cellular transmitter nearby of interference from out of band frequencies which can cause LNA burn-out, saturation, or radiated spurious emissions. 

This product is suited to small form factor mobile devices such as GPS Smartphones, Personal Location, Medical devices, Telematic devices and Automotive navigation and tracking. Custom gain, connector and cable versions are available. 

Custom tuning is available for specific customer device environments and is dependent on a minimum order quantity and NRE in some cases. Please contact regional sales office for details. 

The AP.10E consists of 2 functional blocks – the LNA and also the patch antenna.

## **6. Plugs Usage Precautions** 

## **6.1. Mating / unmating** 

(1) To disconnect connectors, insert the end portion of I-PEX under the connector flanges and pull off vertically, in the direction of the connector mating axis. 

(2) To mate the connectors, the mating axes of both connectors must be aligned and the connectors can be mated. The "click" will confirm fully mated connection. Do not attempt to insert on an extreme angle. 

## **6.2. Pull forces on the cable after connectors are mated** 

After the connectors are mated, do not apply a load to the cable in excess of the values indicated in the diagram below.
