Antenova GNSSNova M20072 receiver with integrated antenna

Antenova has launched the GNSSNova M20072, a GNSS receiver with integrated GNSS antenna and reduced power consumption.

The receiver uses a MediaTek 12 nm low energy chip with 1.8 V power supply, which is designed to use less power than older chipsets. The power consumption of the module can therefore be as low as 21 mW for a GPS fitness tracker, and GNSS-enabled products built with the M20072 will have a longer battery life.

The ready-made receiver solution was developed for easy integration into a design. The module contains an integrated omnidirectional GNSS antenna, onboard LNA and a SAW filter which work together to boost the signal to the GNSS processor if line-of-sight to the horizon is difficult.

The receiver tracks four satellite constellations simultaneously in the 1559–1609 MHz bands: GNSS, GPS, BeiDou and GLONASS. This gives greater accuracy in positioning, and EASY and EPO are built in for a faster time to first fix (TTFF).

At 13.8 x 9.5 x 1.8 mm, the receiver is ultra-small, and it requires a small clearance on the PCB, making it suitable for small trackers and compact positioning devices where space on the PCB is tight. It is designed for use in wearable electronics, small trackers, bikes and e-scooters and all battery-powered telematics.
