Parsec Technologies, Inc., global provider of wireless positioning antennas and amplifier integrated circuits for the consumer, automotive and defense markets, introduced its GPS/GNSS L1 high-radiated efficiency active antenna at CTIA Super Mobility Week September 10.

The PTA1.5M-9, sized 9 x 9.175 x 1.3 mm, integrates easily with GNSS/GPS 3D-SIPs and system-on-chip (SoC) receivers with only a single direct connection typically required, and is compatible with any GNSS receiver operating from 1560 to 1610 MHz.

The Parsec PTA 1.5M-9 is a wideband antenna ideal for embedded LBS receivers requiring good user experience to operate within 5 to 7 mm of the human body, indoors in the presence of multi-path, and in applications with obstructed views of orbiting satellites.

Key benefits include:

  • Micro miniature size: 9mm x 9.175mm x 1.3mm (L x W x H)
  • 50 MHz bandwidth: covers GNSS systems from 1560 – 1610 MHz
  • Highest rated efficiency in class: 50% at 1575.42 MHz
  • Antenna gain: Ga=0.8 dBi @ Fc = 1575.42 MHz, linear polarization
  • Ideal for M2M GPS/GNSS requirements

Plano, Texas-based Parsec is displaying their products for M2M devices, showcasing their GPS and GNSS product line of active and passive antennas as well as introducing their new ultra-thin dual band cellular antenna at CTIA 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada – Booth #6221 in the M2M Zone.
