NEO-6M/7M/8M 28dB High Gain Active Ceramic GPS Antenna

An active GPS antenna includes an integrated Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) to boost the weak satellite signals before they reach the receiver. The 28dB gain significantly improves signal strength and quality, leading to faster satellite lock times, better accuracy, and more stable positioning, especially in challenging environments. This ensures reliable navigation for your drone.

This antenna is designed with a UFL connector, making it compatible with a wide range of popular GPS modules that also feature a UFL port. Specifically, it works seamlessly with u-blox NEO-6M, NEO-7M, and NEO-8M series modules, which are commonly used in FPV drones and autonomous UAVs for their performance and reliability. Always verify your module's connector.

RHCP is crucial for GPS antennas because GPS satellites transmit circularly polarized signals. An RHCP antenna matches this polarization, effectively rejecting reflections or multipath signals that often have an opposite (left-hand) polarization. This helps to reduce signal interference and fading, significantly improving the clarity, stability, and reliability of the GPS signal received by your drone's navigation system.

For optimal performance, mount the ceramic GPS antenna with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky, typically on the top plate of your drone. Ensure it is positioned away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as VTX, ESCs, or motors. The ceramic patch should face upwards. Proper orientation and isolation are key to achieving the best possible satellite reception and positional accuracy.
