External GNSS Antenna – BD+GPS Multi-in-One Combination Antenna
A compact external GNSS antenna for stable BeiDou and GPS positioning. Built with an omnidirectional radiating element, a 50Ω RG58 cable and a FAKRA plug-in connector, it gives vehicle terminals, telematics units and embedded devices a reliable external GNSS positioning antenna that mounts away from the host electronics.
- BD + GPS dual-system operation for dependable satellite positioning
- Vertical polarization and omnidirectional pattern for uniform reception
- FAKRA connector with RG58 cable, color and connector customizable
- RoHS 2.0 compliant, TPE housing, OEM / ODM support
Why Use an External GNSS Antenna?
Receivers placed inside metal housings, dashboards or equipment cabinets often struggle to see the sky. An external GNSS antenna moves the radiating element to a better location and connects it to the receiver through a low-loss coaxial cable, which improves signal quality and positioning continuity.
This BD+GPS external multi-in-one combination antenna is designed for plug-in installation. Its FAKRA connector is the standard RF interface in automotive electronics, so it pairs easily with T-Box units, telematics gateways, vehicle trackers, navigation modules and similar GNSS terminals.
Key Features of the BD+GPS External GNSS Antenna
Engineered for easy integration and consistent GNSS reception in vehicle and equipment applications.
BD + GPS Positioning
Supports BeiDou and GPS satellite systems, giving your receiver dual-constellation signal sources for dependable fixes.
Omnidirectional Reception
Vertical polarization with an omnidirectional pattern helps the antenna receive satellite signals evenly from all horizontal directions.
FAKRA Plug-In Connector
The automotive-grade FAKRA interface enables fast, secure plug-in installation. Other connector types can be customized.
RG58 Coaxial Cable
A 50Ω RG58 cable keeps the antenna matched to the receiver and allows flexible placement away from the host device.
Durable TPE Housing
The flexible TPE housing and metal radiating element give a compact, robust structure for in-vehicle and in-equipment mounting.
RoHS 2.0 Compliant
Manufactured to the RoHS 2.0 environmental standard, with 10W power capacity and a -20°C to +70°C operating range.
When Do You Need an External GNSS Positioning Antenna?
When the Receiver Has Poor Sky View
Relocate the antenna to a position with a clearer view of the sky while the receiver stays protected.
When You Need Automotive Interfaces
FAKRA connectivity fits standard vehicle RF harnesses and telematics hardware.
When Installation Must Be Fast
Plug-in installation shortens assembly time and keeps production lines simple.
When Both BDS and GPS Are Required
Dual-system operation suits projects that need regional BeiDou support alongside GPS.
When Color or Connector Must Match
Black is standard, with color and connector type customizable for your product design.
When OEM Customization Is Required
Cable, connector and housing options can be adapted to your terminal and drawings.

How to Choose the Right External GNSS Antenna
A simple checklist to match an external GNSS antenna to your device.
Confirm Constellations
Check whether your receiver needs BD+GPS only, or additional systems such as GLONASS or Galileo.
Match the Connector
Choose FAKRA or another connector type, and confirm the code or color required by your receiver port.
Select Cable Length
Pick a cable that reaches the mounting position while keeping RF cable loss low.
Check the Environment
This model is non-waterproof, so mount it inside the vehicle, an enclosure or another protected position.
Plan the Mounting
Select a location with the clearest sky view, away from large metal surfaces and noise sources.

FAQ About the External GNSS Antenna
What is an external GNSS antenna?
An external GNSS antenna is a separate antenna connected to a receiver by a coaxial cable. It lets you place the antenna where it has the best sky view, instead of relying on a built-in antenna inside the device.
Which satellite systems does this antenna support?
This model operates on the BD (BeiDou) and GPS bands. Contact us if your project also requires GLONASS, Galileo or additional frequency points.
What does the FAKRA connector mean for installation?
FAKRA is a color-coded RF connector standard widely used in automotive electronics. It allows quick plug-in connection and helps prevent mismatched cable connections.
Is the antenna waterproof?
No. This model is non-waterproof and should be installed inside a vehicle, an enclosure or another protected location.
Can the color and connector be customized?
Yes. Black is the standard color, and both the color and the connector type can be customized for OEM projects.
Can I get VSWR, gain and dimension data?
Yes. Contact our engineering team and we will provide the detailed datasheet and sample support for your evaluation.
