u-blox announced the SAM-M8Q GNSS receiver with integrated antenna. This module speeds time to market for system developers of GNSS applications who have limited experience in RF and antenna design. By using the latest u-blox M8 multi-GNSS receiver technology, the module is able to offer simultaneous reception of GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite signals.
The SAM-M8Q can be easily embedded in small devices that require location information, such as asset tracking and telematics systems, and generic automotive after-market applications.
The combination of an integrated wide-band antenna along with the module’s SAW filter and low-noise amplifier (LNA) architecture ensures that the SAM-M8Q receiver delivers robust performance in the presence of high frequency signals from other electronic equipment, such as cellular modems, which can cause interference.
