SAM-LS

GPS Smart Antenna Module

ANTARIS® Positioning Engine

 SAM-LS

Overview

The smart antenna SAM-LS combines an ultra-low power GPS receiver module with an integrated patch antenna. The form factor and interfaces are compatible to its predecessor SAM. It provides two 3V serial ports accessible through a connector for flexible flat cables. This all-in-one solution is best suited for a broad spectrum of end products where very fast and straightforward system integration at minimum development costs and risks is a major issue.

The leading ANTARIS® GPS Engine provides excellent navigation performance under dynamic conditions in areas with limited sky view like urban canyons, high sensitivity for weak signal operation without compromising accuracy, and support of DGPS and multiple SBAS systems like WAAS and EGNOS. The 16 parallel channels and 8192 search bins provide fast start-up times. The low power consumption and FixNow™ power saving mode make this product suitable for handheld and battery-operated devices.
