TW4027/TW4029 Low Current GPS Antenna
The TW4027/TW4029 is a very low power,
compact GNSS antenna covering the GPS L1,
frequency band. This antenna features an LNA
with a nominal current consumption of just
2mA, with constant performance from 2.5V to
15V supply voltage, and includes protection
against close proximity L-band transmitting
antennas such as Iridium™ and Globalstar™
The TW4027/TW4029 has among the lowest
power consumption available, yet still provides
21dB nominal gain and an excellent Noise
Figure. The TW4027.TW4029 patch has 40%
wider bandwidth for better axial ratio and has
15 KV ESD circuit protection. The LNA has a
+/- 10MHz bandwidth that covers the full GPS
L1 signal plus the SBAS (WAAS /EGNOS/MSAS)
frequency band (1572.5 to 1578 MHz).
The TW4029 variant provides a “Brick-Wall”
pre-filter to protect against saturation by high
level sub-harmonics and L-Band signals.
It is housed in a compact IP67 magnetic mount
enclosure.
