1. Introduction

The AP.25M is a one stage 25mm active patch antenna that has been designed specifically

for embedded (inside device) integration with GPS/GALILEO receiver modules.

The AP.25M combines a 25*25*2mm 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.

This antenna system consists of two functional blocks, the LNA portion and the patch

antenna.
