The SAM-M10Q is a patch antenna module built on the ultra-low-power u-blox M10 GNSS platform, which supports concurrent reception of four GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou) and provides exceptional sensitivity and fast acquisition times for all L1 GNSS systems.
The extremely low power consumption of 37 mW in continuous tracking mode with four concurrent GNSS allows great power autonomy for battery-operated devices, without compromising on GNSS performance.
A front-end SAW filter and an LNA is integrated in the SAM-M10Q module. This setup ensures excellent out-band jamming immunity, for example when a cellular modem is nearby. SAM-M10Q also detects jamming and spoofing attempts and reports them to the host, so that the system can react to such events.
The high-gain 15 x 15 mm patch antenna provides the best balance between performance and small size. The omnidirectional radiation antenna pattern increases flexibility for device installation.
Incorporating the SAM-M10Q module into customer designs is easy and straightforward, thanks to the integrated antenna, robust design, and simple interface. SAM-M10Q is a surface-mount device, enabling simple and automated manufacturing.
SAM-M10Q is pin-to-pin compatible with the previous SAM-M8Q module, which saves designers time and cost when upgrading their designs to the advanced low-power u-blox M10 GNSS technology.
