The PC1900 is a lightweight, high-efficiency PCB ADS-B antenna, designed specifically for reliable operation in the 978 MHz and 1090 MHz bands. Supporting ADS-B applications, the antenna enables robust aircraft tracking and surveillance performance with optimized linear polarization and omnidirectional radiation characteristics.
The antenna integrates a vertical-feed design with a 100mm 1.37mm coaxial cable terminated in an I-PEX MHF I connector, offering design flexibility and easy integration into compact systems. Despite its slim construction, the PC1900 delivers efficiency levels up to 63% and peak gain of 1.64 dBi, ensuring strong and consistent performance.
With dimensions of just 80 × 12 × 0.86 mm and a weight of only 2g, the antenna maintains a low-profile form factor suitable for embedding in space-constrained devices. The integrated 3M adhesive backing allows for quick, reliable mounting on enclosures or substrates, with performance optimized on a 3 mm ABS ground plane.
Typical applications include:
Built on a durable polyimide substrate, the PC1900 is engineered for long-term reliability in harsh environments. Cables and Connectors can be fully customized based on customer requirements, please contact your regional Taoglas customer support team.
