Catering to GPS applications for smart phones, personal navigation devices, and notebook computers, the 1044 SMD LP patch antenna is capable of delivering up to 80% more efficiency than traditional chip antennas while taking up 50% less space. Measuring 10mm x 4mm x 4mm, the antenna supports a bandwidth of 15 MHz around a 1575-MHz central frequency. Working temperature ranges from -25°C to 85°C. By combining the performance of a pin antenna and the miniaturization of a patch antenna, the 1044 delivers 20% to 30% better performance versus a conventional chip antenna, empowering smart phones to integrate personal navigation and positioning functions. The antenna is fabricated using high-k dielectric material in a proprietary multi-layered ceramic manufacturing process. YAGEO CORP., Taipei, Taiwan. 886 2 2917-7555.
