Product Description

GPS RADIONOVA M10295 is a ash based highly

integrated GPS RF Antenna Module suitable for

L1-band GPS and A-GPS systems. The device is

based on the high performance MStar Poseidon IC

combined with Antenovas high efciency antenna

technology designed to provide an optimal radiation

pattern for GPS reception.

All front-end components are contained in a single

package laminate base module providing a complete

GPS receiver for optimum performance. M10295

operates on a single 3.6V positive bias supply with

low power consumption and available low powermodes for further power savings.

M10295 supports stand alone autonomous and

assisted operation through MStars proprietary long-

term ephemeris data network. The M10295 also

incorporates an antenna switch with built-in current

sensing for optional active antenna connection.

Notes:

1. The self-resonant frequency (SRF) of the inductors should be around 1600MHz to effectively choke the noise in the GPS band on the

lines. For 0402 multi-layer inductors (e.g. Murata LQG15) 47nH is the typical value. Dont use wire-wound inductor.

2. Notice that the Hirose connector is not polarized: care must be taken in preventing insertion of the module in the wrong direction.
