Omni-directional GPS antenna Poynting GPS-1 SMA male 21 dBi, 1.575–1.600 GHz, DC 2.7–3.3 V, puck 99.3×99.3×36 mm

Poynting GPS-1 is an omni-directional active GPS puck antenna designed for reliable satellite reception in vehicle, marine and fixed IoT/M2M installations. The V2 version provides a compact, low-profile enclosure (99.3×99.3×36 mm) with improved mounting options and environmental protection. It operates across the 1.575–1.600 GHz band with a peak gain of 21 dBi, uses an SMA male RF connector and requires DC power in the 2.7–3.3 V range. The antenna is certified to CE and RoHS and tested to MIL-STD 810G/ASTM B117 for operation in demanding conditions.

Advantages

The antenna combines omni-directional reception with an active element to improve sensitivity and fix times for positioning and timing applications. Its compact puck form factor and multiple mounting options simplify installation on vehicles, vessels or fixed structures. The enclosure provides vandal and ingress protection suitable for outdoor use and the design supports operation at low temperatures and high wind speeds.

Suitable for

• Vehicle tracking and fleet management
• Marine navigation and instrumentation

How to use

Mount the puck on a suitable flat surface or pole using the available mounting options, orienting it to provide a clear view of the sky for best satellite visibility. Connect the SMA male RF connector to the receiver or GNSS module input and supply DC power within the specified 2.7–3.3 V range if the receiver does not provide bias power. Ensure cable routing maintains the connector integrity and avoids sharp bends or excessive tension.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, install the antenna away from large metal obstructions and sources of RF interference. Use shielded coaxial cable of appropriate type and length for your installation and secure the antenna against mechanical stress. Verify that the receiver supports active antenna power or provide the required DC power. Regularly inspect seals and cable entry points in harsh marine or industrial environments.
