M10372-A1

m2m GPS RADIONOVA® M10372 RF Antenna Module Antenova’s GPS RADIONOVA® M10372 RF Antenna Module is a single package solution to combine RF and antenna on the same module. The M10372 is a highly integrated GPS RF Antenna Module suitable for L1-band GPS and A-GPS systems. The device is based on the high performance CSR SiRFstarIV™ GPS architecture combined with Antenova’s high efficiency antenna technology, and is designed to provide an optimal radiation pattern for GPS reception. All front-end and receiver components are contained in a single package laminate base module, providing a complete GPS receiver for optimum performance. The M10372 operates on a single 1.8V positive bias supply with low power consumption and available low power modes for further power savings. The M10372 is supported by SiRF stand alone software and is compatible with UART, SPI and I2C host processor interfaces. Custom versions of M10372 can also incorporate an antenna switch for optional external active antenna connection. Providing a true drop in solution with the antenna and RF in a single package, GPS RADIONOVA ® M10372 offers ease of integration and shorter d esi g n c ycles fo r faste r t i m e to ma r ke t . 28mm 13mm Bottom (Component Side View) (w/shield can) Top (Antenna Side View) 5mm Typical Planar Mount (Side view) Applications: • Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs) • Portable Media Players (PMPs) • Asset Tracking / Personal Safety • Ultra Mobile Devices (UMDs) Features: • Low cost single package RF Antenna Module • CSR SiRFstarIV™ GPS Chipset Architecture • Low 5mm height for thin devices • Low current consumption • Optional external antenna support • Resistant to de-tuning Antennas for Wireless M2M Applications GPS RADIONOVA® M10372 RF antenna module ® Typical Placement on PCB Part No. M10372 GPS RADIONOVA® M10372 RF antenna module electrical mechanical Frequency: Supply Voltage Supply Current: Hibernate Current: COM Interface: Output Protocol: Operating Temperature: Dimensions : 28 x 13 x 5mm Mounting: Planar mount / low profile Connector: 30pin board-to-board Groundplane: 40 x 30mm min 1575 MHz 1.8V 30mA 30 µA UART / SPI / I2C SiRF Binary / NMEA 0183 -30°C to +85°C Typical RF Antenna Module Placement Front View Back View Side View Typical Sensitivity Pattern Note: Radiation pattern measured on Antenova M2M’s standard test board.
