MAX-M8Q u-blox GPS/QZSS GLONASS BeiDou 18Hz receiver Reference Board with Active GPS antenna for your mini UAV systems, Robots, RC, FPV or other projects. Ultra small and light.
The MAX-M8 series of standalone concurrent GNSS modules is built on the exceptional performance of the M8 engine in the industry proven MAX form factor. With dual-frequency RF front-end, the u-blox M8 concurrent GNSS engine is able to intelligently use the highest amount of visible satellites from two GNSS (GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou) systems for more reliable positioning.
The MAX-M8 series is ideal for performance driven applications. The MAX-M8 series provides high sensitivity and minimal acquisition times while maintaining low system power. The MAX-M8Q provides best performance for passive and active antennas designs. Sophisticated RF-architecture and interference suppression ensure maximum performance even in GNSS-hostile environments.
The MAX-M8 combines a high level of integration capability with flexible connectivity options in a miniature package. This makes MAX-M8 perfectly suited for industrial applications with strict size and cost requirements. The MAX-M8Q is also halogen free (green) which makes it also a perfect solution for consumer applications. The DDC (I2C compliant) interface provides connectivity and enables synergies with most u-blox cellular modules
