Module Design Enables GPS And GLONASS Reception While Software Collaboration Targets Small Cells

摘要

NEUBIBERG, GERMANY: The new front-end receiver modules from Infineon Technologies promise to simplify the addition of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) functionality in smartphones and other handheld devices. According to the firm, the three devices in the BGM103xN7 series are the first modules to support either the separate or simultaneous reception of Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) and Globalnaya Navigat-sionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema (GLONASS) signals. Although they measure just 2.3 x 1.7 x 0.73 mm, the modules combine the pre-filter and low-noise-amplifier (LNA) stages of the GNSS signal-chain front end (see photo).
