Boost your navigation accuracy with our high-performance Magnetic Base SMA GPS Antenna. Engineered for the 1575.42 MHz frequency, this active aerial is the perfect solution for vehicles, marine vessels, or stationary GPS projects that require a clear line of sight to satellites. Its heavy-duty magnetic base allows for instant, drill-free mounting on any metallic surface, while the generous 3-meter cable provides the flexibility to route wiring through even the largest vehicles.

The antenna features a built-in Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) that amplifies weak satellite signals before they reach your receiver, ensuring a faster "Time to First Fix" (TTFF) and better positioning accuracy.
Magnetic Mounting: The base contains a powerful magnet, allowing for instant attachment to a car roof, trunk, or any flat metallic surface without drilling or permanent adhesive.
Plug-and-Play Compatibility: The standard SMA connector is compatible with most aftermarket car head units (Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine), GPS trackers, and microcontrollers like the A9G module or Arduino GPS shields.
High Sensitivity: With a noise figure typically below 1.5dB, it can pull in signals even in "noisy" RF environments.
Right-Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP): Optimized specifically for the way GPS satellite signals are transmitted, ensuring maximum signal capture.
Placement: For the best results, place the antenna on the highest point of the vehicle (the roof) with a clear view of the sky. The metal roof actually acts as a "ground plane," which further improves antenna performance.
Cable Routing: The 3-meter cable is thin and flexible (RG174), making it easy to tuck into weather stripping or interior panels to hide the wire.
Check Your Connector: Ensure your device has an SMA Female port (threaded on the outside with a center hole). If your device uses a push-on connector (like SMB or MCX), you will need an adapter.
Replacing lost or damaged factory GPS antennas in cars and boats.
Enhancing the accuracy of fleet management and theft-recovery trackers.
Improving GPS signal for flight controllers in drones or robotic rovers.
