u-blox SAM-M10Q Standard Precision GNSS Antenna Module is a patch antenna module built on the ultra-low-power u-blox M10 GNSS platform. The platform supports the concurrent reception of four GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou) and provides exceptional sensitivity/fast acquisition times for all L1 GNSS systems. Low 37mW power consumption in continuous tracking mode with four concurrent GNSS allows significant power autonomy for battery-operated devices without compromising GNSS performance. A front-end SAW filter and an LNA are integrated into the SAM-M10Q module. This setup ensures excellent out-band jamming immunity, for example, when a cellular modem is nearby. SAM-M10Q also detects jamming and spoofing attempts and reports them to the host so the system can react to such events.
The high-gain 15.5mm2 x 6.3mm patch antenna provides the balance between performance and small size. An omnidirectional radiation antenna pattern increases flexibility for device installation. The integrated antenna, robust design, and simple interface allow easy incorporation into user designs. SAM-M10Q is a surface-mount, 20-pin LGA package, enabling simple and automated manufacturing. SAM-M10Q Standard Precision GNSS Antenna Module is pin-to-pin compatible with the previous SAMM8Q module, which saves users time and cost when upgrading designs to the advanced low-power u-blox M10 GNSS technology.
