Micro GPS antenna for fleet and asset tracking
The Laird Technologies GPS15MGSMA is a compact antenna built for vehicles or fixed assets that need reliable L1-band reception. It covers the 1574.42-1576.42 MHz range at 4.0 dBic gain and runs on either 3.0 V or 5.0 V supply. The low-profile housing suits installations where height clearance is limited.
Consistent gain across the L1 band under
The antenna maintains its specified 4.0 dBic gain while powered continuously at 3.0 V or 5.0 V, avoiding the signal fade that can occur with lower-grade elements during extended use. The 14 ft RG-174 cable introduces modest attenuation but preserves usable signal strength for typical GPS receivers. The grommet over-mould protects the cable junction from vibration-induced fatigue.
Magnetic or adhesive mount
Installers can secure the base magnetically to a ferrous roof panel or use the pre-applied double-sided foam gasket for permanent adhesion. The cable exits either from the side or the bottom, allowing routing around roof rails or through tight gaps. The SMA connector mates directly with most GPS receivers; verify the mating thread before ordering. Not suited for installations that require a bulkhead-mounted or through-hole antenna.

Questions about this item
How much power does the GPS15MGSMA draw when it runs continuously on a vehicle battery?
The antenna operates at either 3.0V or 5.0V, so continuous draw depends on the host receiver's supply current at those voltages.
What receiver connector must I already have to plug this antenna in?
The unit ships with an SMA male connector; your GPS receiver needs a matching SMA female jack.
Will the 14-foot RG-174 cable reach a roof-mounted position from a dashboard-mounted legacy GPS unit?
The 14' RG-174 lead provides ample length for routing from a magnetic roof mount down to a dash-mounted receiver.
