Antenova is now shipping the RADIONOVA M20047-1 antenna module, an ultra-small GNSS active antenna module outfitted with active low-noise amplifier (LNA) and surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter. The antenna module is designed for applications leveraging the 1559 – 1609 MHz satellite bands on GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, or BeiDou technology.

On-board LNA and SAW filters serve to boost signal to the GNSS processor when line-of-sight to the horizon or sky is restricted. The modules also contain an external matching feature to compensate for de-tuning caused by proximity with other components.

The M20047-1 is a compact 7 mm x 7 mm x 0.9 mm and weighs less than two grams, making the antenna module well suited for wearable devices and other small form factor systems. The module is encases in FR4 laminate.

The Antenova antenna datasheets and an M20047-1 evaluation kit are available from www.antenova.com.
