Fractus Launches Reference Design for Global Navigation Systems

Fractus Antennas introduces a new reference design where the Virtual Antenna^TM technology appears as one of the best choices for covering all the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) frequencies, including GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou.

Using the RUN mXTEND^TM antenna booster, part of the new generation of miniature and standard components, the result is a full satellite navigation performance that allows location signal usability anywhere in the world.

This new reference design document shows how the antenna component covers this full performance with more than 80% efficiency and all contained in a small antenna booster measuring 12.0 mm x 3.0 mm x 2.4 mm). It also demonstrates this whole frequency coverage by testing it into two different evaluation board sizes, so the results can be checked for devices with different volumes.
