GPS/GLONASS GNSS Antenna for Raspberry Pi HAT and Arduino Shield with 3 Meter Cable

Package Includes:

• 1 x GPS/GLONASS GNSS Antenna with 3m Cable (SMA Connector)

  📡 Precision GNSS Reception, Anywhere You Need It

  This GPS/GLONASS GNSS Antenna is engineered for developers, hobbyists, and professionals who need reliable and consistent satellite signal performance in microcontroller-based projects. Unlike standard ceramic patch antennas integrated on GPS modules (e.g., NEO-6M), this active external antenna provides superior sensitivity, wider coverage, and faster acquisition times—even in locations with limited sky visibility.

  ---

  🔍 Dual Constellation Support: GPS + GLONASS

  By accessing both GPS (U.S.) and GLONASS (Russian) satellite constellations, this antenna increases the number of visible satellites, enabling:

  • Faster first fix times

  • Improved accuracy (especially in valleys, cities, or indoors near windows)

  • Greater reliability when GPS-only reception fails or weakens

  This is especially beneficial for applications like vehicle tracking, drone navigation, time synchronization, and remote environmental monitoring, where a continuous GNSS fix is critical.
