Pulse is please to announce the W3213 GPS patch anten-
na to compliment our growing range of tracking antenna
products. This small 0.5 x .05 inch (13 x 13 mm) ceramic
patch antenna is 0.16 inches (4 mm) high and has a pin-
through mount. Double sided tape is on the underside of
the antenna for adhesion to the customer board.
Operating at 1.575 GHz, L1 GPS band, the W3213 patch
provides circularly polarized radiation patterns to con-
nect to satellite systems. Performance in this specifica-
tion sheet is based on a ground plan of 1.2 x 1.2 inches
(30 x 30 mm) delivering a gain of -1.5 dBic at Zenith and
10 degrees with 3dB axial ratio at Zenith. Increasing
the size of the ground plane can significantly boost the
actual application. Contact Pulse for applications sup-
port to get the best performance from your Navigation
systems. Solutions for Glonass bands and surface mount
patch antennas are also available on request.

No. Item Description
1 Feed Pin Silver plated brass
2 Adhesive 0.13 mm thick double sided tape
Notes:
Feed pin manual soldering conditions:
• 300° C max soldering iron temperature, 5 seconds max
• Typical lead free solders are applicable
Electrode silver metallization may tarnish if antenna is stored/used in corro-
sive environment, especially where chloride, sulphur or sulfide, alkali or acid
salts exist in the air. Corrosive gases may cause oxidation of electrodes and
reduce solderability.
