The piPATCH-MAX is the SpaceFriendly GPS-L1 Micro Satellite Active Antenna module specially designed to provide strong signal for GPS satellites reception in space. Integrated Low Noise Amplifier as well as SAW filter are matched together with 35×35 mm Patch antenna and large ground plane. Easy-to-use SMA signal and power interface provides compact solution for all kind of projects where strong GPS signal reception with enough margins is required. The module could be easily mounted to the satellite structure using four M4 screws with a flat head. High quality conformal coating, Kapton fix and Sn/Pb tin-lead (non-RoHS) used for the Flight Model brings the best possible outgassing performance in vacuum environment of space. The antenna is fully compatible with piNAV-L1, piNAVi-L1 and pqNAV-L1 GPS navigation solutions as well as other GPS/GLONASS receivers with biased RF antenna inputs in the nominal range of 3.3V to 5V DC.
