Antenova GPS RADIONOVA®
RF Antenna Module & Eval Kit

Antenova GPS RADIONOVA® RF Antenna Module is a single package solution that combines a full GPS engine and antenna on a small SMD module. Antenova GPS RADIONOVA® RF Antenna Module is a highly integrated GPS RF Antenna Module suitable for L1-band GPS and A-GPS systems. The device combines the high performance u-blox 6 GPS position engine with Antenova's high efficiency antenna technology in a small SMD module. The antenna module also benefits from novel external matching that ensures easy tuning for each platform.

All front-end and receiver components are contained in a single package laminate base module, providing a complete GPS receiver for optimum performance. The Antenova GPS RADIONOVA® RF Antenna Module operates on 1.8V or 3.3V positive supply with low power consumption and several low power modes for further power savings. An accurate 0.5ppm TCXO and very low noise LNA ensures high sensitivity and short TTFF. The antenna module is supported by u-blox stand alone software and is compatible with UART, SPI, DDC, I²C, and USB host processor interfaces. The Antenova GPS RADIONOVA® RF Antenna Module is also available.
