Abstract
The issues of a miniaturization of an active antenna module construction, including modules with a micro navigation receiver, are described. The physical limits of small size antenna elements constructing are examined. An innovative constructing and technological way of integrating of all UHF components, including the micro receiver, into the microstrip antenna itself, which is implemented like a ceramic or a keramoplast box, and as well, combines the functions of an antenna element and a module box simultaneously, is presented and demonstrated on given serial devices. The advantages of such a decision in upgrading the module parameters, its size optimization and its operational properties improvement are confirmed.
