Extremely Compact High Performance Marine GPS Antenna

Overview

RV-16 is the integration of a high performance GPS patch antenna and a low noise amplifier into state-of-the-art low a very low profile/extremely compact/fully waterproof antenna enclosure. When connected to a GPS receiver with +5V DC antenna power it provide excellent signal amplification and out-band-rejection for that receiver.

Advantages

Low noise figure / Fully weather proof

Ultra-high Sensitivity / Compact construction

Excellent temperature stability
