Magnet Mount Passive Antenna
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The PCTEL Magnet Mount Passive Antenna is a compact, high-performance GPS antenna designed for precise positioning, navigation, and tracking applications. Unlike active antennas, this passive antenna does not include an internal low-noise amplifier (LNA), making it ideal for systems that already have built-in amplification. The magnetic mount design allows for quick and secure attachment to metal surfaces, providing a flexible and non-permanent installation for vehicles, field equipment, and industrial applications.
This passive magnet mount antenna is designed for applications requiring durable, interference-free GPS reception, offering:
✅ Passive operation (no internal amplifier) – Works with systems that provide their own signal amplification.
✅ Strong magnetic mount – Ensures secure, non-permanent installation on metal surfaces.
✅ Low-profile, compact design – Ideal for vehicles, equipment, and remote monitoring applications.
✅ Rugged & weather-resistant – Built to withstand outdoor conditions.
✅ Optimized for GPS tracking and positioning – Used in fleet management, industrial automation, and defense applications.
