GNSS modules upgraded with 8th-Gen chip technology
The MAX, NEO and LEA GNSS modules from u-blox are now avilable in a multi-constellation positioning platform, designated the u‑blox M8. The module series provides a range of features including antenna management, integrated filters, data logging, crystal or TCXO, and rich set of interfaces.
GNSS positioning module achieves -160dBm sensitivity
A standalone GNSS positioning module introduced by Alpha Micro Components is claimed to be the smallest on the market. The EVA-7M from u-blox is designed for high volume consumer and low- end commercial cost- and space-sensitive applications. The highly integrated 7 x 7 x 1.1mm LGA module comprises all necessary components, including crystal and passives. Users need only add an antenna for instant global positioning capability.
GNSS Chip simultaneously supports GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, SBAS and BeiDou
Broadcom has annoucned the launch of a new Global Navigation Satellite System chip. Designated the BCM47531, it can simultaneously generate positioning data from five satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, SBAS and BeiDou). By supporting the BeiDou constellation, the BCM47531 GNSS chip increases the number of satellites available to a smartphone, enhancing navigation accuracy, particularly in urban settings.
Precision timing GNSS module for cellular networks
The LEA-M8F is a new precision timing GNSS module which has been introduced by u-blox. Generating a precise 30.72 MHz reference clock, the compact and surface mount GNSS module is ideal for synchronizing industrial data and communication systems such as small, femto and macro-cell mobile networks.
