Datasheet of GPS smart antenna module, LS20030~3

1 Introduction

LS20030~3 series products are complete GPS smart antenna receivers, including an

embedded antenna and GPS receiver circuits, designed for a broad spectrum of OEM system

applications. The product is based on the proven technology found in LOCOSYS 32 channel GPS

SMD type receivers MC-1513 that use MediaTek chip solution. The GPS smart antenna will track up

to 32 satellites at a time while providing fast time-to-first-fix, one-second navigation update and low

power consumption. It can provide you with superior sensitivity and performance even in urban canyon and

dense foliage environment. Its far-reaching capability meets the sensitivity requirements of car

navigation as well as other location-based applications.
