Product Description
GPS RADIONOVA M10295 is a ash based highly
integrated GPS RF Antenna Module suitable for
L1-band GPS and A-GPS systems. The device is
based on the high performance MStar Poseidon IC
combined with Antenovas high efciency antenna
technology designed to provide an optimal radiation
pattern for GPS reception.
All front-end components are contained in a single
package laminate base module providing a complete
GPS receiver for optimum performance. M10295
operates on a single 3.6V positive bias supply with
low power consumption and available low powermodes for further power savings.
M10295 supports stand alone autonomous and
assisted operation through MStars proprietary long-
term ephemeris data network. The M10295 also
incorporates an antenna switch with built-in current
sensing for optional active antenna connection.

Notes:
1. The self-resonant frequency (SRF) of the inductors should be around 1600MHz to effectively choke the noise in the GPS band on the
lines. For 0402 multi-layer inductors (e.g. Murata LQG15) 47nH is the typical value. Dont use wire-wound inductor.
2. Notice that the Hirose connector is not polarized: care must be taken in preventing insertion of the module in the wrong direction.
