Receive front-end modules to implement GNSS (global navigation satellite system) functionality in smartphones and other handheld devices, such as tablet PCs, digital cameras and watches. Infineon claims that the BGM103xN7 devices are the first modules available that support separate or simultaneous reception of both GPS and GLONASS (Globalnaya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema) signals. The three devices are in 2.3x1.7x0.73 mm packages. All combine the pre-filter and LNA stages of the GNSS signal chain front-end and is claimed to reduce design time. The devices provide high linearity to avoid interference of more powerful cellular signals, single-module coverage of the frequency range from 1575 to 1605MHz, and optimised gain with very low noise for sensitivity.
