GPS PCB Antennas
Types of GPS PCB Antennas
GPS PCB antennas come in two forms: active and passive.
Active Antennas
Active antennas have a low noise amplifier (LNA) built into the module. They are on their own board and are connected to your printed circuit board via coaxial cables.
Passive Antennas
Passive antennas do not include an amplifier.
