Quectel GNSS antennas

Quectel Wireless Solutions has introduced four additions to its range of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antennas. The new antennas include the YFGD000AA high-precision, low-profile antenna; the YFGD000BA, optimised for triple-band solutions in GNSS L1, L2 and L5 bands; the YFGN000H1AC high-precision, lightweight antenna that covers all GNSS bands; and the YEGT010W1AM, designed for general-purpose reception in non-precision applications.

The YFGD000AA is a high-performance multi-band active GNSS antenna designed for applications requiring ultra-precise positioning across L1, L2, L5, L6 and L-band frequencies (1164–1300 MHz and 1525–1606 MHz). With dimensions of 78.6 x 75.6 x 16.2 mm and a screw mounting, the antenna is suitable for vehicular or fixed installations and operates in the -40 to +85°C temperature range. This antenna is engineered for mission-critical deployments in autonomous systems, geodetic surveying and high-accuracy navigation. It is RoHS, REACH and POPS compliant.

The YFGD000BA offers similar capabilities to the YFGD000AA but has been developed to support applications with ultra-precise positioning needs across L1, L2 and L5 bands (1164–1238 MHz and 1559–1606 MHz). It shares dimensions, operating temperature range and mounting options with the YFGD000AA and is also RoHS, REACH and POPs compliant.

The YFGN000H1AC is a high-precision antenna with a higher profile than the YFGD000AA and YFGD000BA but with greater performance and lighter weight of 62 g. The antenna covers all GNSS bands and delivers 35 ±4 dB gain with a low noise figure of ≤4 dB, making it suitable for weak-signal environments. With a diameter of 122 mm and height of 22.5 mm, the antenna features a screw mounting so it can be attached to vehicles or fixed installations. It operates in -40 to +85°C temperature range and is RoHS and REACH compliant.

The YEGT010W1AM is a GNSS rubber external antenna with a diameter of 10.22 mm and height of 69.5 mm. This ultra-wideband GNSS antenna provides broad coverage from 1559–1606 MHz and is terminated with an SMA male connector. With omnidirectional capability and linear polarisation, the antenna is suitable for general-purpose reception in non-precision applications. The terminal mount design makes it easy to install on gateways, routers or tracking devices in protected environments. Operating in the -40 to +85°C temperature range, the antenna weighs 8.9 g and is RoHS compliant.
