Product Overview

The Southwest Antennas part # 1027-011 GPS Active L1 Antenna is a high-performance and ruggedized product designed to deliver precise location services and timing information for GPS receivers, manpack radios, hand-held radios, and other small form factor radio systems. The antenna features a recessed, non-rotating TNC(m) RF connector and is waterproof to 65 feet / 60 meters, making it suitable for service in harsh environments.

Part # 1027-011 features +11 dB of active low noise amplifier gain coupled with narrowband SAW filtering providing >30 dB out of band rejection from 60 MHz above and below the L1 center frequency (1575.42 MHz). The integrated high linearity LNA provides both a very low noise figure (<1.5 dB) and a high input IP3 (+4.9 dBm).

This antenna's narrowband, commercial-grade filter make it especially useful for applications where the GPS receiver will be located next to transmit antennas by working to eliminate co-site interference, keeping the GPS antenna operational for critical location and timing services. 

Features: 
  • GPS L1 frequency +/- 1 MHz bandwidth
  • Out-of-band jamming immunity
  • Superior out of band rejection
  • Ultra low noise figure
  • Ultra low power consumption
  • Active LNA & Dual SAW filter circuitry
  • Small form factor, ultra light-weight design
