Description
The TM Series GNSS receiver module is a self-contained high-performance
Global Satellite Navigation System receiver. Based on the MediaTek
chipset, it can simultaneously acquire and track multiple satellite
constellations. These include the United States GPS system, Europe’s
GALILEO, Russia’s GLONASS and Japan’s QZSS.
The module provides exceptional sensitivity, even in dense foliage and
urban canyons. It’s very low power consumption helps maximize runtimes
in battery powered applications. Hybrid ephemeris prediction can be used
to achieve cold start times of less than 15 seconds. The module outputs
standard NMEA data.
The evaluation module contains the surface mount TM Series GNSS
module, SMA connector and a ferrite bead (used to supply power to an
external active antenna, such as the Linx SH Series active GPS antenna)
on a single board with through-hole headers. This small board makes
prototyping with the TM Series module very easy.
