The smallest GPS module HC S1216F8 BD

Product Overview

Description

HC-S1216F8-BD GPS module

 

The HC-S1216F8-BD is state-of-the-art global navigation satellite system receivers capable of tracking up to 28 GPS + Beidou + QZSS + WAAS + EGNOS + MSAS + GAGAN satellite signals combined.

Dual-satellite navigation receiver module receives greater number of satellites than available for GPS-only receivers. The increased satellite number offers superior performance in challenging urban canyon and multipath environment.

 

The HC-S1216F8-BD module contains  8 positioning engine inside, featuring high sensitivity for indoor fix, low power consumption, and fast TTFF. The superior -148dBm cold start sensitivity allows it to acquire, track, and get position fix autonomously in difficult weak signal environment.

The receiver’s -165dBm tracking sensitivity allows continuous position coverage in nearly all application environments. The high performance signal parameter search engine is capable of testing 16 million time-frequency hypotheses per second, offering industry-leading signal acquisition and TTFF speed.

 

The HC-S1216F8-BD module contains LNA for easy integration with passive antenna and a SAW filter for increased jamming immunity. It works with both passive and active antenna; the self-contained antenna detection and short circuit protection feature enables lowest integration cost for system integrators using active antenna.
