Miniature GPS receiver with chip
antenna for PND´s.
The Fastrax UC322 is an OEM GPS receiver module,
which uses the state of the art SiRF single chip receiver
GSC3LT with high navigation sensitivity (-159dBm).
The UC322 receiver is equipped with an on-board chip
antenna that enables thinner PND design than ever
before. The receiver provides low power consumption
(90mW) and very fast TTFF together with weak signal
acquisition and tracking capability to meet even the
most demanding performance expectations.
Impossible to fit in a good antenna?
The module provides complete signal processing
from embedded GPS antenna to serial data output in
NMEA (or SiRF binary) messages. The embedded chip
antenna has good radiation gain, which leads to solid
GPS signal levels. The antenna operation is optimized
for 50-110mm ground plane width.
Mother Board PCB = GPS Antenna
Ground Plane
Fastrax UC322 enables extremely high navigation per-
formance even for applications with very tight require-
ments for size. The antenna does not need a separate
ground plane. Instead it utilizes the application’s own
PCB for gaining the best antenna signal.
Ultimate GPS receiver module
SiRF GSC3LT chipset with the sensitivity of -159 dBm
joined by this revolutionary antenna solution, enables
navigation in urban canyons, where many others would
fail in acquiring and reading the signal from satellites.
