1. Introduction

The AA.171 Magma Low Axial Ratio Magma magnetic mount external antenna

is ideal for robust, covert installations where durability and small size is

paramount. It is used in telematics and M2M applications, for example in

commercial vehicle installations for fleet management.

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

length and connector type are customizable upon request.

Using a unique specialist feed structure this antenna delivers best in class axial

ratio across all GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO and BeiDou bands. Low axial ratio

improves accuracy of GNSS system location and leads to quicker lock times. A

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

transmitters, helping prevent LNA compression and burnout. Manufactured in a

dedicated TS16949 facility, PPAP and IMDS documentation are available on

request. Low power consumption lengthens device battery life. Adhesive

mount version is available on request.
