Model M10372 GPS RADIONOVA from Antenova is a planar-mount Global Positioning System (GPS) radio/antenna module that includes the SiRFstarIV GPS chipset from Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR). The combination is ideal for embedded GPS uses, such as in mobile devices and in machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. The radio/antenna module operates on a single +1.8-VDC supply and is suitable for L1-band GPS and A-GPS systems. Custom versions of the module can also incorporate an antenna switch for optional active antenna connection.
