PX1120T  is  a  single  chip,  quad  GNSS  receiver  targeting 
precision  timing  applications.  The  PX1120T  is  capable  of 
using GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS, and SBAS signal 
to  provide  precise  1PPS  signal  generation  in  a  single 
compact SMD module. It is fully autonomous such that once 
power  is  applied,  the  receiver  automatically  searches, 
acquires  and  tracks  satellite  signals.  When  a  sufficient 
number  of  satellites  are  tracked  with  valid  measurements, 
the  receiver  produces  position,  velocity,  and  date/time 
output along with 1PPS signal. 
 
Global  quad-constellation  GNSS  signal  receiving  capability 
enables  using  greater  number  of  satellite  signal  than 
GPS/GLONASS  dual-constellation  receivers.  The  increased 
satellite number offers superior performance in challenging 
urban canyon environments.   
 
Single-chip Phoenix positioning engine is inside the receiver 
module.  It  features  high  sensitivity  and  fast  TTFF.  PX1120T 
can  acquire,  track,  and  get  position  fix  autonomously  in 
difficult  weak  signal  environment.  Its  high  tracking 
sensitivity allows continuous operation in nearly all outdoor 
application  environments.  The  high  performance  signal 
parameter  search  engine  is  capable  of  testing  16  million 
time-frequency  hypotheses  per  second,  offering  fast  signal 
acquisition and TTFF speed. 
 
The  receiver  module  contains  SAW  filter  and  a  notch  filter 
to remove  out-band interference and  LTE  B13 signal  at  the 
RF  input  prior  to  the  first  stage  LNA.  This  configuration 
allows normal operation even under strong RF interference 
when cellular modem is near the PX1120T. 
 
PX1120T  is  backward  pin-to-pin  compatible  with  earlier 
SkyTraq  12.2mm  x  16.0mm  form  factor  GNSS  module, 
allowing very easy migration.
