Tyco Electronics Launches First GPS Antenna Module Based On SIRF STAR III Low Power Chip

Mon, 20 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT

Fastest start-up behavior (<35s under cold start condition), highest sensitivity (-159dBm tracking) and minimal power consumption (36mA average tracking current) are the key features of Tyco Electronics' high end GPS receiver module A1080-A. By combining the A1080-A with a state of the art patch antenna, which provides a 3dB gain, shows an almost perfectly hemispherical radiation field and operates virtually independently of the surrounding equipment, the A1035-D was created.

Tyco Electronics offers a wide range of GPS antenna modules to support customers who are not specialized in RF and wish to implement a GPS function into their design. The accurate PVT information is obtained by simply connecting 3 digital signals (Power, GND, and Serial-out).
