u-blox announces low-power multi-GNSS module with built-in antennaERT

u-blox has announced the u-blox SAM-M10Q antenna module, offering a best-in-class low-power positioning solution. Featuring an integrated antenna, the module offers product developers the easiest pathway to integrate u-blox M10 GNSS technology into their devices.

Typical applications include industrial tracking and telematics, automation and monitoring, and small UAVs.

The module’s integrated wide-band antenna along with its SAW filter and low-noise amplifier (LNA) architecture deliver proven superior out-of-band jamming immunity, providing robust performance when located near a cellular modem.

As a ready-to-use GNSS solution requiring no external components or radio frequency (RF) expertise, the SAM-M10Q enables easy design-in and quick time to market, helping customers who need a ready-to-use GNSS solution and depend on external RF expertise and resources to develop a robust antenna solution. Pin-to-pin compatibility with the u-blox’s previous antenna module, the SAM-M8Q, makes it easy for existing customers to upgrade their products to benefit from the advanced u-blox M10 GNSS technology.

Engineering samples of the SAM-M10Q antenna module will be available in August 2022.
