G0 GPS V1.1

G0 is a low cost GPS receiver designed for the use with Autonomous aircraft.

Features

  • Based on the Ublox MAX-7Q GPS module
  • Uses high quality Taoglass ceramic Patch antenna
  • Whole circuit is protected from EMI by an EMI shielding can
  • Power and data lines are equipped with ferrite beads to decrease the amount of external noise entering the GPS circuitry.
  • Large antenna ground-plane (50 x 50 mm)
  • Optional trapezoidal ground plane skirt

The large ground plane around the antenna increases the overall gain of the antenna. The ground plane also prevents more of the reflected GPS signal from being received by the GPS antenna. Less multi-path GPS signal results in more accurate position measurement. Together with the EMI shielding can the ground-plane also prevents more of the aircraft EMI noise from entering the GPS receiver antenna. This also improves the SNR (Signal to Noise ratio)
