Description
The R4 Series GPS receiver module is 
a self-contained high-performance GPS 
receiver. Based on the SiRFstar IV chipset, 
it provides exceptional sensitivity, even 
in dense foliage and urban canyons. The 
module’s very low power consumption 
helps maximize runtimes in battery 
powered applications. With over 200,000 
effective correlators, the R4 Series 
receiver can acquire and track up to 48 
satellites simultaneously in just seconds, 
even at the lowest signal levels. Housed in a compact reflow-compatible 
SMD package, the receiver requires no programming or additional RF 
components (except an antenna) to form a complete GPS solution. The 
module’s standard NMEA data output makes the R4 Series easy to 
integrate, even by engineers without previous RF or GPS experience.
