SL1200 Passive Antenna
Based on patented GeoHelix® technology SL1200 GPS antenna provides high performance in difficult GPS applications using a quadrafilar helix design. The SL1200 is ideal for applications where a device is handheld, body-worn, or otherwise surrounded by high-dielectric materials that would de-tune conventional antennas.
Applications:
The antenna is ideally suited for GPS enabled UMPC/MID applications, tracking devices, DSC/SLR cameras for Geotagging, GPS/GSM mobile devices or and any device which cannot accommodate a large ground plane for the antenna.
