Antenova Ltd has introduced its latest compact, high-precision GNSS module. The new product, the GNSSNova M20072, is a GNSS receiver with an integrated GNSS antenna and very low power consumption. The M20072 uses a 12nm MediaTek chip with a 1.8V power supply that consumes 70% less power than older chipsets. Therefore, the module's power consumption can be as low as 21mW for a GPS fitness tracker, and GNSS-enabled products built with the M20072 will have longer battery life.
Antenova created this ready-to-use receiver solution for easy integration into a design. The module contains an integrated omnidirectional GNSS antenna, an integrated LNA, and a SAW filter that work together to boost the signal to the GNSS processor if the line of sight to the horizon is difficult.
The M20072 tracks four satellite constellations simultaneously in the 1559-1609 MHz bands: GNSS, GPS, BeiDou, and GLONASS. This provides greater positioning accuracy, and EASY and EPO are integrated for faster time to first fix (TTFF), ensuring that designs using the M20072 will operate accurately and quickly.
At only 13.8 x 9.5 x 1.8 mm, the M20072 is ultra-small and requires very little PCB clearance, making it ideal for smaller trackers and compact positioning devices where PCB space is limited. It is designed for use in handheld electronics, small trackers, electric bicycles and scooters, and all battery-powered telematics systems.
