12 Channel Copernicus GPS Receiver Antenna Question

GPS/GNSS Development Boards
1

I think it great that they are making these GPS units smaller and smaller.

I am no antenna guru by any means. SFE does not seem to offer much in the “Related Items” on the page for this “12 Channel Copernicus GPS Receiver” part# GPS-Copernicus.

I don’t want to use the large Magnetic Mount SMA - VTorch antenna with this device, i want something small but not so small as to sacrifice too much signal strength.

My question is this : what other antennas can i use that are small but will receive a good signal.

Thanks

Looks like you can use a HFL small patch antenna like the lassen iq. Question is now “How do you connect the two together?”

Hello,

I know this might be a bit old but… did you ever get a chance to make this work?

I am also trying to get the HFL small patch antenna to work with the Copernicus.

I’m also having trouble finding a connector for this antenna, did you manage this as well?

Many thanks,
