## **1. Introduction** 

The AP.17E is a one stage 17mm active patch antenna that has been designed specifically for embedded (inside device) integration with GPS/GALILEO receiver modules. 

The AP.17E combines a 17*17*4mm advanced low profile ceramic patch antenna with a one stage LNA and a front-end SAW filter with ultra thin coaxial cable. It comes with it’s own integrated ground-plane. 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. 

The antenna can work on a wide input voltage from 1.8V to 5.5V with best in class power consumption figures. 

If further tuning and optimization specific to a customer device is required Taoglas offers a custom tuned and optimized part service. Contact **sales@taoglas.com** for more information. 

Cables and connectors can be customized according to request.

## **4. Plugs Usage Precautions** 

## **4.1. 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 +Z to insert on an extreme angle.
