EtherHelix Mission Critical GPS Antenna

GHz RHCP

PRODUCT Data Sheet EtherHelix GPS

Part No. 1002857

EtherHelix series of Isolated Magnetic Dipole IMD GPS antennas deliver on the key needs of device designers for higher functionality and performance. EtherHelix are the world’s smallest, stand-alone, circular polarized, external /internal GPS antennas. These innovative antennas provide compelling advantages for GPS enabled cell phones, navigation equipment, and other mobile devices.

TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES

Real-World Performance and Implementation Antennas may look alike on the outside, but the important difference is inside. Other antennas may contain simple PiFA or monopole patch designs that interact with their surroundings, complicating component layout or changing performance with use position. Ethertronics’ antennas utilize patented IMD
technology to deliver a unique size and performance combination.

Stays in Tune High RF isolation means IMD antennas resist detuning regardless of usage position. And one standardized part can typically be placed in a variety of locations.

Smallest Effective Size IMD antennas require a smaller keep-out area for surrounding components, leading to a smaller effective size.

High Performance IMD’s high efficiency and simple design rules lower development risk and speed time-to-market without sacrificing performance. Plus, high RF selectivity eliminates the cost and space for band-pass circuitry.

KEY BENEFITS
