Sarantel has launched the LBS Pro, a miniature, energy saving and high-performance GPS antenna optimised for integration of location-based services (LBS).
LBS services use geographical positions to alert users to services depending on where they are, where their friends are and which points of interest they are near. As such, for LBS to succeed, the devices that they are communicated through need to transmit a highly accurate geographical position, not an approximation.
The antenna is built on Sarantel’s GeoHelix filtering technology that is less susceptible to energy loss and de-tuning in the presence of the human body because its near-field energy is stored within its ceramic core. The antenna also has an integrated balun which isolates the antenna from the device ground plane and rejects common mode noise from conducted power on the device chassis, improving its performance significantly.
To improve performance when using between tall buildings, Sarantel antennas all have a beamwidth in excess of 130°, allowing them to pick up satellites close to the horizon. The LBS Pro needs no ground plane and is designed to be embedded within a very limited space.
