GVLB208 Series dual-band GNSS antenna supports simultaneous L1 and L5 reception in a 20mm × 20mm × 8mm footprint for space-constrained positioning applications. Stacked patch design enables concurrent GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou operation while reducing multipath interference in complex RF environments. Delivers peak gain up to 1.5dBi, approximately 50% efficiency across both bands and axial ratio near 4dB for stable right-hand circular polarization. Available in passive and active variants with PCB-compatible pin-mount and integrated filtering options for UAV, robotics, telematics and fleet management systems.
