Development of Compact GPS/GLONASS Antenna

Compact GPS/GLONASS Antenna

GPA-CS200

Announced on September 25, 2015

■ Overview
The is a compact antenna for GPS/GLONASS. Its size (volume) is 55% of that of conventional Mitsumi antennas, and features the same shape as the standalone GPS antenna.
With the growing number of electronic components installed in vehicles, it has become increasingly difficult every year to set aside sufficient space for antennas, so the previous shape has been retained to allow the antenna to be installed in the same location as the previous antenna.
