Description
Optimized specifically for GPS reception, this compact, simple 
radiating element delivers full performance.
Stability over a wide range of temperatures makes the ANPC-129 
OnBoard suitable for operation in any environment.
Integration is easy due to the single pin output which mounts 
directly to any circuit board, allowing design and as sembly flexibility while minimizing costs.
The ANPC-129 OnBoard can also be customized to accommodate 
‘plug-in’ and ‘cable-type’ interfaces. With consistently repeatable 
center frequency, gain, and VSWR, the ANPC-129 OnBoard sets 
the performance standard for handheld and other vehicular applications.
The anntenna design provides for an optional DC short circuit.
