W3213

1.575 GHz GPS Ceramic Patch Antenna 

_Pulse Part Number W3213_ 

Pulse is please to announce the W3213 GPS patch antenna to compliment our growing range of tracking antenna products.  This small 0.5 x .05 inch (13 x 13 mm) ceramic patch antenna is 0.16 inches (4 mm) high and has a pinthrough mount.  Double sided tape is on the underside of the antenna for adhesion to the customer board. 

Operating at 1.575 GHz, L1 GPS band, the W3213 patch provides circularly polarized radiation patterns to connect to satellite systems.  Performance in this specification sheet is based on a ground plan of 1.2 x 1.2 inches (30 x 30 mm) delivering a gain of -1.5 dBic at Zenith and 10 degrees with 3dB axial ratio at Zenith.  Increasing the size of the ground plane can significantly boost the actual application.  Contact Pulse for applications support to get the best performance from your Navigation systems.  Solutions for Glonass bands and surface mount patch antennas are also available on request.
