MAX-M10S Ultra Low Power GNSS receiver with SMA connector

MAX-M10S Ultra-low-power GNSS receiver Reference Board with SMA antenna connector for your mini UAV systems, Robots, RC, FPV or other projects. Ultra small and light.

The MAX-M10 series is built on the ultra-low-power u-blox M10 GNSS platform, which provides exceptional sensitivity and acquisition times for all L1 GNSS systems. The extremely low power consumption of less than 25 mW in continuous tracking mode allows great power autonomy for all battery-operated devices, such as asset trackers, without compromising on GNSS performance. MAX-M10 supports concurrent reception of four GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou). The high number of visible satellites enables the receiver to select the best signals.

This maximizes the position availability, in particular under challenging conditions such as in deep urban canyons. u-blox Super-S technology offers great RF sensitivity and can improve the dynamic position accuracy by up to 25% with small antennas or in a non-line-of-sight scenario. The MAX-M10S module integrates an LNA followed by a SAW filter in the RF path for maximum sensitivity in passive antenna designs. MAX-M10 detects jamming and spoofing attempts and reports them to the host, so that the system can react to such events. Advanced filtering algorithms mitigate the impact of RF interference and jamming, thus enabling the product to operate as intended.
