1. Introduction

The AA.170 Magma magnetic mount external antenna is ideal for robust, covert

installations where durability and small size is paramount. This low profile

antenna is tuned for stable operation over GPS-GLONASS-GALILEO-BeiDou

frequency bands and is used in the following typical applications

- Advanced telematics and M2M applications

- Fleet management

Axial ratio is 3 at the main GPS band, indicating good right hand circular

polarization, which increases location accuracy and speed of lock in the GNSS

system. Standard cable and connector version is 3 meter RG174 and SMA(M).

A front-end SAW reduces out-band interference from any nearby wireless

transmitters, helping prevent LNA compression and burnout. The Magma

antenna is manufactured in first tier TS1949 automotive approved facility, with

full PPAP and IMDS documentation available.

Cable length and connector type are customizable upon request. Adhesive

mounting version is also available upon request. Contact your regional Taoglas

office for support.
