MIA-M10Q - Integration manual
• Control voltage supply to the antenna, which allows the antenna supervisor to cut power to the
antenna in the event of a short circuit or optimize power to the antenna in power save modes.
• Detect a short circuit in the antenna and automatically recover the antenna supply after the
short circuit is no longer present.
• Detect an open circuit, which can be used to indicate if the antenna has been disconnected.
Using some antenna supervisor features may require disabling the UART or I2C interface
and reconfiguring the PIOs as antenna supervisor pins.

Description
Comments
CFG-HW-ANT_CFG_VOLTCTRL
Enable active antenna voltage control
CFG-HW-ANT_CFG_SHORTDET
Enable short circuit detection
CFG-HW-ANT_CFG_SHORTDET_POL Short antenna detection polarity
Set to 1 if the required logic polarity is
active-low (default).
CFG-HW-ANT_CFG_OPENDET
Enable open circuit detection
CFG-HW-ANT_CFG_OPENDET_POL
Open antenna detection polarity
Set to 1 if the required logic polarity is
active-low (default).
CFG-HW-ANT_CFG_PWRDOWN
Power down antenna supply if short
circuit is detected
Requires CFG-HW-
ANT_CFG_VOLTCTRL and CFG-HW-
ANT_CFG_SHORTDET to be enabled.
CFG-HW-ANT_CFG_PWRDOWN_POL Power down antenna logic polarity
Set to 1 if the required logic polarity is
active-high (default).
CFG-HW-ANT_CFG_RECOVER
Enable auto-recovery in the event of a
short circuit
To use this feature, enable short
circuit detection and CFG-HW-
ANT_CFG_PWRDOWN.
CFG-HW-ANT_SUP_SWITCH_PIN
PIO number of the pin used for switching
antenna supply
PIO5 is recommended if available. This
pin can be used as an LNA_EN signal
to control an external LNA, especially
if software standby mode or power
save mode on/off (PSMOO) operation is
used.
CFG-HW-ANT_SUP_SHORT_PIN
PIO number of the pin used for detecting
a short circuit in the antenna supply
UART or I2C pins can be used for the
short detection, depending on which
interface is used for communication.
CFG-HW-ANT_SUP_OPEN_PIN
PIO number of the pin used for detecting
open/disconnected antenna
UART or I2C pins can be used for the
short detection, depending on which
interface is used for communication.
Table 4: Antenna supervisor configuration
It is possible to obtain the status of the antenna supervisor from the UBX-MON-RF message. Refer
to the interface manual for the description of the
antStatus
and
antPower
fields [
]. In addition, any
changes in the status of the antenna supervisor are reported to the host interface as ANTSTATUS
in NMEA notice messages.
ANTSTATUS
Description
OFF
Antenna is off
ON
Antenna is on
DONTKNOW
Antenna power status is not known

2.1.2 Navigation configuration
This section presents various configuration options related to the navigation engine. These options
can be configured through CFG-NAVSPG-* configuration keys.
