Product description
SAM-M10Q

The SAM-M10Q is a patch antenna module built on theultra-low-power u-blox M10 GNSS platform, which supports
concurrent reception of four GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo,and BeiDou) and provides exceptional sensitivity and fastacquisition times for all L1 GNSS systems.
The extremely low power consumption of 37 mW incontinuous tracking mode with four concurrent GNSS allows
great power autonomy for battery-operated devices, withoutcompromising on GNSS performance.

StandardGNSS•

A front-end SAW filter and an LNA is integrated in theSAM-M10Q module. This setup ensures excellent out-band
jamming immunity, for example when a cellular modem isnearby. SAM-M10Q also detects jamming and spoofing
attempts and reports them to the host, so that the system
can react to such events.

The high-gain 15 x 15 mm patch antenna provides the bestbalance between performance and small size. The omnidirectional radiation antenna pattern increases flexibility fordevice installation.
Incorporating the SAM-M10Q module into customer designs
is easy and straightforward, thanks to the integrated
antenna, robust design, and simple interface. SAM-M10Q
is a surface-mount device, enabling simple and automatedmanufacturing.
SAM-M10Q is pin-to-pin compatible with the previous SAMM8Q module, which saves designers time and cost whenupgrading their designs to the advanced low-power u-blox
M10 GNSS technology.
