Echo 2715 x 15 mm GPS Internal Active Antenna

The Echo 27 is a GPS embedded ceramic patch antenna that combines excellent performance characteristics with a low operating voltage. This updated V2 version provides a huge 5dBi LNA amplifier gain over the predecessor.

With a built in LNA giving 27dB gain from just 6.6mA current consumption and operating between 2.3 and 5.5V DC this combination is ideally suited to low power applications.

Supplied as standard with 100mm coax cable and terminated with a uFL/IPEX connector. Alternative cable lengths and connector types can be specified for volume orders.
