SiRF V GPS Module GPS Engine Board with MCX/SMA connector

The Ct-G340 w/Ct-G530P module is high performance, low power GNSS receiver, based on the SiRFStarVTM single chipset technology while providing fast time-to -first-fix.

Its far reaching capability meets the sensitivity requirements of car navigation as well as other location-based applications. Ct-G340 w/Ct-G530P is designed to allow quick and easy integration into GPS-related applications, especially for compact size devices, such as:

• Fleet Management / Asset Tracking

• AVL and Location-Based Services

Performance

• GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BDS and SBAS reception for high GNSS availability and accuracy

• 52 track verification channels

• Active Jammer Remover, removes in-band jammers up to 80 dB-Hz

• Multimode A-GPS (Autonomous, MS-Based, and MS-Assisted), need operator support.

• SiRFGeoRecovTM Reverse EE makes positioning process being done under power saving mode.

• RF Metal Shield for best performance in noisy environments

• High sensitivity navigation engine (PVT) tracks as low as
  - GPS: -165dB,
  - GLONASS: -161dBm

• SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, QZSS, MSAS, GAGAN)

• Tracks up to 8 CW jammers

• Enbedded CGEE/SGEE (With back-end server support) speed up TTFF a lot and makes cold start time to be around 20+ seconds.

• Reacquisition Time: 0.1 second

Hardware and Software

• Based on the high performance features of the SiRFstarV™ low power single core logic.

• Adaptive micropower controller

• Only 50 to 500μA maintains hot start capability (core logic)

• <10mW required for TricklePower™ mode

• RoHS compliant (lead-free)

• Advanced navigation features

• Smart sensor supported by I²C interface

• External interrupt input for context change detection

• MCX vs. RMCX or RSMA RF Connector select

Advantage

• Built-in LNA.

• Built-in internal ROM and based on Firmware 5.5.X

• It can remove in-band jammer up to 80db-Hz and track up to 8CW jammers, so the module can prevent GPS signal interference when design-in the electrical device with noisy electrical signal interferences such as Laptop, mobile phone, DSC, etc.

• Maintain tracking sensitivity as low as GPS @ -165dBm, GLONASS @ -161dBm, even without network assistance. (SiRFstar III has only -159dBm sensitivity)

• Support SiRFaware™ technology

• Support adaptive "Micro Power Controller" power management mode.

• <10mW TricklePower™, so user can leave power on all day instead of power off.

• Suitable for battery drive devices that need lower power consumption application

• Ideal for high volume mass production(Taping reel package)

• Cost saving through elimination of RF and board to board digital connectors

• Flexible and cost effective hardware design for different application

• Embed CGEE (Client Generated Extended Ephemeris) that can capture ephemeris data from satellites locally and predicts ephemeris up to 3 days. So if the module was off within 3 days, it could complete positioning process with limited time just like hot start.
