GPS-WP/UNI - Waterproof GPS Antenna

 

CTi are pleased to announce further expansion of their antenna range with the addition of the GPS-WP/UNI. Sealed to IP67 standard, this is a waterproof version of its forerunner the GPS-UNI active antenna that was launched back in 2007.
The GPS-WP/UNI performs at any voltage in the range of 1.8 to 6 Vdc and like its sister unit, is believed to be the first in the industry capable of operation from such low voltage. Most competitive products require at least 3.3 V. The antenna is particularly suitable for automatic vehicle location and tracking applications; its extremely low voltage requirements mean that a vehicle can continue to find and report its location until its battery is virtually exhausted – significantly extending the time available to recover the vehicle in the event of it having been stolen. The GPS-WP/UNI antenna is suitable for use with any standard 1575.42 MHz GPS receiver capable of supplying 1.8 to 6 Vdc antenna power. Its built-in low noise amplifier has a very low power consumption of just 100 mw and provides a forward gain of 26 dBi, which is held essentially constant for all operating voltages. The antenna has a nominal 50 Ohm output impedance and an output VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of better than 2:1.
As standard, the GPS-WP/UNI antenna is available as a magnetic mount, equipped with 3 metres of RG174 cable, terminated with an SMA male RF connector. It can also be supplied with different cable lengths and connectors, including blue Type C FAKRA.
