New surface-mount embedded GNSS antenna launched

Linx Technologies has expanded its Splatch antenna series by launching a new surface-mount embedded GNSS antenna that supports GPS, Galileo, GLONAAS, Beidou and QZSS systems in the L1/E1/B1 bands.

"The new linear GNSS antenna from Linx expands upon our already robust embedded PCB antenna portfolio of customer favourites like the uSP410, SP610, and the nSP250, by adding a GNSS solution," said Rick Stuby, VP of Product Management. "The antenna displays high performance in a compact surface-mount package, making it especially well-suited for small devices in the growing Internet of Things market."

The antenna displays excellent performance in a compact size (10mm x 8mm x 1mm) and provides linear polarisation and an omnidirectional radiation pattern. The antenna is supplied in tape and reel packaging and is developed for reflow-solder mounting directly to a PCB for high-volume applications.
