Antenova has announced the addition of Brevis A10204 GPS SMD antenna to the gigaNOVA range of market proven surface mount antennas.

Designed for ease of integration into small wireless devices, Brevis GPS antenna is ideally suited for a wide range of embedded GPS device applications such as mobile phones, personal navigation devices (PNDs), PDAs, personal trackers/safety devices, mobile internet devices (MIDs) and plug-in accessories such as USB dongles, SDIO (Secure Digital Input Output) cards, etc.

Antenova's Brevis A10204 is a well performing small GPS antenna particularly suited for small portable and handheld devices where the device is likely to be used in various orientations. Brevis is a low profile and small footprint GPS antenna designed to work well on small boards and can be compared with the performance of a 10mmx10mm or 12mmx12mm patch antenna - but its near omni-directional characteristics enable good performance at any device orientation.

Brevis A10204 is a high efficiency GPS SMD antenna which operates at 1575MHz. Brevis is a reliable, cost effective and higher performing option to larger, bulkier and more costly patch antennas, and is designed for use in all GPS applications where small size and near omni-directional pattern is an advantage.

Antenova offers the gigaNOVA range of market leading antenna solutions for 2.3 GHz, 2.4 GHz, 2.5 GHz, 5 GHz, GPS, GSM and ISM900 bands. gigaNOVA standard antennas are designed for easy integration into wireless devices and are the smart choice for GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WiMAX and ZigBee applications.
