1 Introduction
Vincotech’s GPS receiver module / smart antenna A1035-H is a highly integrated
GPS antenna receiver module based on the technology of the GPS receiver mod-
ule A1084 and a ceramic GPS patch antenna. Like on the A1084-A an RF switch is
integrated on the module allowing changing of RF input from the on-module an-
tenna to an external antenna. The module is capable of receiving signals from up to
20 GPS satellites and transferring them into position and timing information that can
be read over a serial port. Small size and high-end GPS functionality are combined
at low power consumption:
•
Operable at 3.3V / 24mA (typ.) @ 1fix per second
•
UART interface at CMOS level
•
Small form factor of 30.48 x 16.51 mm² (1.2” x 0.65”)
•
Supported
temperature
range: -40°C to +85°C
•
Single-sided SMT component, for reflow soldering
•
RoHS compliant, lead-free
•
Tape & reel packaging
•
Excellent antenna support
o
On-module patch antenna
o
Antenna input for direct connection of external active antenna
o
RF switch to select between antennas
The receiver / smart antenna module is available as an off-the-shelf component,
100% tested and shipped in tape-and-reel.
