Description
AP.17F is a two-stage active patch antenna module designed for embedded (inside-device) integration with GPS/GALILEO receiver modules. It combines a low-profile ceramic patch with an LNA and a front-end SAW filter to help reduce interference risk from nearby cellular transmitters.
It is optimised for RTK applications, where thicker patch designs can help improve tracking and acquisition sensitivity. A wide input voltage range supports flexible integration and low power consumption designs.
Cables and connectors can be customized according to request. Contact your regional Customer Services Office for more information.

Installation / Environmental
4. Plugs Usage Precautions
4.1. Mating / Unmating
(1) To disconnect connectors, insert the end portion of I-PEX under the connector flanges and pull off vertically, in the direction of the connector mating axis.
(2) To mate the connectors, the mating axes of both connectors must be aligned and the connectors can be mated. The "click" will confirm fully mated connection. Do not attempt to insert on an extreme angle.
4.2. Pull forces on the cable after connectors are mated
After the connectors are mated, do not apply a load to the cable in excess of the values indicated in the diagram below.
