nventek Systems, LLC is pleased to announce the production of the ISM400F1, which offers compact size and is based on the high performance features of the SiRFstarIII GPS. The ISM400F1 comprises a 20-channel global positioning system (GPS) receiver in a compact surface-mountable module. Based on the fast and deep search capabilities of SiRFstarIII, it features high sensitivity, high gain, and low power. The ISM400F1 allows you to integrate GPS functionality into your product quickly and easily. Its small size (12.9mm X 12.9mm) makes the ISM400 perfect for compact devices. It’s suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Hand-held personal positioning and navigation
- PDAs, Pocket PCs and other hand-held computers
- Fleet management
- Asset tracking
- Automatic vehicle location
Other improvements in the ISM400F1 design include SMT pads which allow for fully automatic assembly processes equipment and reflow soldering, RoHS compliant (lead-free), and an EMI/EMC metal shield. It provides lower RF emissions/ signature for FCC compliance and also optimal RF performance in noisy environments. The ISM400F1 will support both NMEA-0183 and SiRF Binary protocols.
The ISM400F1 has a tracking sensitivity of -159 dBm and an acquisition sensitivity of -142 dBm. It is capable of receiving SBAS (satellite-based augmentation system) differential corrections (both WAAS (Wide-Area Augmentation System) and EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service)). SBAS improves horizontal position accuracy by correcting GPS signal errors caused by ionosphere disturbances, timing and satellite orbit errors. This can cut 2DRMS1 significantly.
Other advantages of the ISM400F1 include:
- Ideal for compact devices
- Flexible and cost effective hardware designed for multiple application requirements
- Secure SMD PCB mounting method
- Ultra-low Power
- Multi-path Mitigation Hardware
- TTL level serial port for GPS communications interface
